our shit All you'll get is what we'll let Your college campus with your views An education or head in a noose And after you graduate where you go You'll have to live and nothing to show put on a suit and come work for us You'll become you hate and all you disgust forget who you were, what you did, and what you stood for You'll be in your office be trapped in traffic You'll be trapped in home You'll be trapped in church You'll be trapped in your Trapped like rats on the sinking ship Trapped again and getting to it And when you grow old your husband or with your wife You'll be used to it, you'll be to it And to think that whole fucking life You our shit Capitalism is responsible for the lifestyle enjoyed Who about the people slain be thankful you're employed It's not comsumer choice,

stand a chance We've built dependence a structure that you have to trust So if you try to destory our system we're going to you with us The public relations industry studies our move advising corporations how they can improve Their profits, their monopolies, their growth And how to beed the consumer for everything they're Their wealth exists off of our labor and our to consume Manipulated

we've ever earned makes it into their hands Enhancing their wealth, enhancing their claim, their domination Maintaining their power, maintaining their reign, they're gaining exploitaton Sacrificing for the good of industry Is the fault the of them or our own stupidity Do they possess that much over everything we do Are the consequences of our actions really thought through Do we truly understand

else Do we the compassion to fight the problems that don't directly affect ourselves Have we ever stood a or have our efforts been naive Have we bought into their lies of they tell us to believe It
