The Deep End

Fuck the two-party system, it’s a scam

The same puppet just different hands

The one percent control the four corners

The rich and elite have no morals

They keep you looking to the sky for miracles

But the Devil’s disguised as clerical

Hell is on Earth, Heaven is in their castles

Scores from wars, they get us to fight their battles

Genocide, on the taxpayer’s dime

But the price of healthcare stays on the climb

Every rep is complicit, any compassion is an act,

As long as AIPAC is putting batteries in their backs

Money truly is rooted in evil

They see dollar signs rather than people,

Net gain over your oppressed pain

We’re struggling for meals while they’re shopping for jet planes

We’re fish in a barrel, looking at survivors as competitors

Got you to hate the color brown so much, you’re defending predators

Trade our souls for a loan, we don’t own a fucking thing

Corporations buy the houses while the homeless are suffering

The American government destabilized its own nation,

Like these Latin countries they call third world so we hate them

They rob their resources with a dishonest agenda

Socialism isn’t wrong, that’s capitalist propaganda

They feed us slop and lies to keep us lazy and dumb

They dehumanize minorities so you can’t relate to one

They put it all on the table, it’s like they’re taunting us

Flaunting it, upper class but look how they accomplished it

Exploitation of honest men, blue collars attached to a leash

They keep us drugged up, passive and sleep

They supply our addictions, they put crack in the streets

Anyone that wants change they’re dispatched within weeks

Fuck the system, because it fucked you and it fucked me too

I’m a product of the pipeline it sucked me through

Taxed to oblivion, doomed to consumerism

We’re slaves to society and that’s not a euphemism

That’s what they do in prison, power is the true religion

They feed conspiracies to confuse civilians,

Until your brain is flat, until you seem insane in fact,

So if the globe ain’t spinning it’s because they made it that

Record-breaking storms every year but global warming ain’t here

The rich’ll be on fucking Mars before it gets severe

I’m pissed off and I don’t know what the fuck to do

Because voting doesn’t matter, no matter what we’re screwed

Our taxes keep raising while congress votes on their own raises

Meanwhile the country’s run by pedophiles and rapists

I hate this, I feel like marching to the capitol to fulfill a dream

And set up outside with a motherfucking guillotine

We the people are compromised and unprotected

We’re just livestock they see as potential investments

They wring us of our worth and keep us subjugated

They made you hate “woke” so they could keep you sedated

It’s us versus them, the top versus the bottom

Won’t pledge allegiance because America caused my problems

Fuck the rich, I wanna eat the rich, like they did our kids,

For generations, without consequence, billionaires need abolishment

Politicians should all have electric chairs in their offices

Burn it down, the CIA is a terrorist group

The whole foundation we need to tear from the roots

A revolving door’s not the type of revolution we need

I am NOT suicidal, don’t send these cowards for me

This bullshit ain’t adding up, I don’t think ya’ll are mad enough

If our leaders are mad corrupt, then the reigns should be passed to us

Because if they’d rather trample our rights and amendments

Then I’d rather overthrow than be underrepresented
