Open my eyes to your bullshit?
Give it up fool, know when to quit
Know who I am and what I believe
Find another sucka, it’s time to leave
Can’t you see my mind’s made up?
No time for you, got a NARROW VIEW
(solo)
Waste your time talking to a wall
Walk away before you take a fall
You gotta understand, your point is lost
Heard it all before, I’ve had enough
Won’t compromise, that just ain’t me
Made up my mind – can’t you see?!
My mind is closed, no time for you
I’ve got a narrow view

Caught in a Trap

Followed the rules, played the game
Wonder why your life’s so lame?
Back and forth from nine to five
But something just ain’t fucking right
Perfect life, perfect lie
Nothing seems to satisfy
(At) work and home, get no respect
Sold (out) yourself what’d you expect?
Picket fence, and a car
None of which you can afford
Beg for more, they give you less
And nothing for retirement – fuck!
(You’ve got to) work – WORK – everyday
Those fucking bills have gotta get paid
Caught like a rat, there’s no way out
You’re going down, without a doubt
YOU’VE GOTTA WORK
Followed the rules, played the game
Wonder why your life’s so lame?
Back and forth from nine to five
But something just ain’t fucking right
(You’ve got to) work everyday
Those fucking bills have gotta get paid
Caught like a rat, there’s no way out
You’re going down, without a doubt
YOU’VE GOTTA WORK
Nine to five ‘til you’re fucking dead

Here they come marching down the street
Complaining about some fucking thing
Yeah know I’m here to enforce the law
Of corporate America
But I don’t give a fuck about right or wrong
Just want to swing my billy club
Tear gas provides the perfect cover
For beating down another protester
Protest all you want – gimme an excuse
To make good use of my steel toed boots
Kick you to the curb, spitting racial slurs
Can’t believe I get paid for this?
Love to fire guns at the unarmed crowd
Wish these bullets weren’t made of rubber
Smash a few faces, head to the bar
Laugh at all the blood we spilled

Woke up late, missed the bus
Left behind, in the dust
Out of work, no prospects
This wasn’t how it supposed to be
What now? You're fucked – in debt – bank-rupt
What now? You're fucked – shit out of - luck
Corporate fat cats going bust
Leeching off the rest of us
Move our jobs to foreign lands
Still they want a bail out?
What now? You're fucked – in debt – bank-rupt
What now? You're fucked – shit out of – luck
Steal from those who stole from us
Smash and burn their palaces
Rewrite the laws, make ‘em just
Let ‘em know we’ve had enough

Different folks rule this world
Our elected officials
Whatever it takes to win the vote
Promises meant to be broke
Change their tune to the crowd
They’re all patriots and proud
Got a plan, just can’t lose
All you’ve gotta do is choose
Which scumbag will represent
Our nation's corporate government
Sellout to the highest bid
Now we’re fucked, cause they’re in
Lie – Cheat – Steal
I’ll never be like you
No checks or balance once they’re in
Massive raises and pensions
Got no cash for anyone else
Eveyone except themselves
And when they’re criticized they say:
“We are the best, you have to pay
Believe in us, do what we fucking say
It’s for the best, you don’t understand
This land is ours, now we’re in command”
Bullshit.
Control the media and the banks
Soldiers, planes, and boats and tanks
Change the laws, crack the whip
Democracy dictatorship
Lie – Cheat – Steal
I’ll never be like you
Never like you

It ain't no use, this society
Slaughters without mercy
Strip you to the very bone
Don't be fooled, you're on your own
Don't fool yourself into thinking it will all work out
You're the only one that's got your back
Don't ever forget
Just because you played it fair, that don't mean
You'll be treated equally
Cut you just to save a buck
This system just don't give a fuck
Don't fool yourself into thinking it will all work out
You're the only one that's got your back
Don't ever forget
You're on your own
There's no safety, there's no help
Learn to rely on yourself
