lyrics

So it begins This is the end The end of everything

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 Overthrew our people’s democracy And ushered in a new era of depravity A facist 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 (x2)

Now that it’s time, it’s time to face reality You need to understand your own mortality Now that it’s time, it’s time to face reality You need to understand the problems of humanity

Now that it’s time, it’s time to face reality You need to embrace your own mortality Now that it’s time, it’s time to face reality You need to embrace, embrace humanity

He’s used your fear to segregate you He’s used your race to alienate you (x2) What can we say? He played you all for fools Have fun living under Nazi rule (x2)

To the demagogue your life means nothing But he promised you’d amount to something You’ve chosen a liar and a crook, Because you’ve never even fucking looked at a book He’s misdirected your hate towards the powerless Took advantage of your ignorance Your fear, your pride and prejudice He manifests and redirects it

You worship him like a god We’re here to tell you- He’s fucking not Not a fucking god The demagogue…

He points the finger of blame At anyone who doesn’t look the same 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 their 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 turn our school systems into state indoctrination They sell us only lies and cheap entertainment While they wage war and conquer other nations

We’re all slaves to a system of oppression Caught in the rat race of capitalism While we waste our lives chasing foolish fantasies The greatest one of all is the american dream
