lyrics

Lyrics Written by Jackie Marugg & Trevor Roberts

So it begins, this is the end.
The death rattle of the world that you know.
So it begins, here we go again.
A heated ocean rising up from down below.

Now the time has come to face the harsh reality.
Gaze into the eyes of our own mortality.
Now the time has come, reject the false duality.
Embrace your fellow man & find a commonality.

Don’t be fooled by deceptive demagogues
Always selling people giant fucking cons.
Don’t you know they’ve been lying all along?
To them it’s just a game and they play you like a pawn.

The champion of the corporatocracy (corporatocracy)
Overthrew the people’s democracy
& Ushered in a new era of depravity
A fascist oligarchy

Don’t be fooled by deceptive demagogues
Always selling people giant fucking cons.
Don’t you know they’ve been lying all along?
To them it’s just a game and they play you like a pawn.

Don’t be fooled by deceptive demagogues
Always selling people giant fucking cons.
Don’t you know they’ve been lying all along?
To them it’s just a game and they play you like a pawn.

They use fear to segregate you
They use race to alienate you
They use fear to segregate you
They use race to alienate you

You so called patriots are so blind to let the demagogue poison your mind.
How many times must this lesson be learned?
While you play war our democracy burns.

Who are the masters, who are the dogs choking on the end of the leash?
Who is the mechanism, who is the cog? When will this cycle cease.
Misdirected your hate towards the powerless
Took advantage & exploited your ignorance
Your fear your pride your prejudice
They manifest & redirect it.

Tear them from their ivory tower & leave them bleeding in the streets.

Ignorance & xenophobia create an atmosphere of violence and a populace sedate.
A revolution of intolerance and hate, we must stand together and refuse to participate

They control our minds by controlling what we see,
They control it all through the elite oligarchy.
While we waste our lives chasing foolish fantasies,
the greatest one of all is the American dream.
Through manipulation of the public education,
They’ve turned our school systems into state indoctrination.
They sell us only lies & cheap entertainment,
While we wage war & conquer other nations.

We’re all slaves to a system of oppression,
Caught in the rat race of capitalism.
