We've built dependence upon a structure you have to trust So if you try to destory our system we're going to take you us The public relations studies our every move advising corporations how they can improve Their profits, their monopolies, uncompromising growth And how to beed the consumer for they're worth Their wealth off of our labor and our willingness to consume Manipulated by medium the public just assume That their innocent, unbiased exist solely to entertain While the industries we for are just out to reclaim The wages they've us to produce the markets demands Every cent ever earned makes it back into their hands Enhancing their wealth, enhancing claim, achieving their domination Maintaining their power, maintaining their reign, they're from exploitaton Sacrificing for the good of industry Is the fault the result of or our own stupidity Do possess that much influence over everything we do Are the consequences of our ever really thought through Do we understand how one person can make a difference By developing individual thought free from interference Our own struggle for comples us to drop it our compassion be cashed in for profit When you are the victim of your attack It should only be natural to to fight back But when they've relentlessly progammed you entire existence We tried to make a but what have we actually achieved we put up any obstacles or just helped them to succeed Have we constructed any bridges or just built another Have our beliefs and our ideals anything at all Have we ever caused our leaders to change a single we ever been a threat or just puppets on a string Have we wasted all of our painting pictures for the blind While we've created isolation have we changed a mind Have we had enought sense to from our mistakes Are we prepared for personal sacrifices no matter what it Are we willing to work together differences aside Or is compormise too to rish damaging our pride Do we have enough hope to still find trust in else Do we have the compassion to fight the that don't directly affect ourselves Have we ever stood a chance or have our efforts naive Have we bought into lies of what they tell us to believe It is your option what path to choose Don't let the only change yo make be in views Like if you can't everything why bother to try You can learn from the you used to deny Is it all a charade or do you mean it Do your ideals only surface when politically convenient stuck in society's trap and although you're tryin to cope If you can't change yourself, you'll lose more just hope So the next time you're down on your knees remember The plight of the oppressed with the oppressor And if it's for you to live under that oppression They they've got you as their possession
