lyrics
The gravity is crushing, our bankrupt blood is boiling
You want us to keep dreaming but our broken beds are burning
Promises won't feed the hungry opiates won't stop the bleeding
Prosperity gospil praying is as good as the poison air we're breathing
The function of a government
To protect the minority of oppulent
From the majority of citizens
We're all dead peasants
Stand up fight back - the socioeconomic trap
Stand up fight back - Panama Paper's idea of tax
Stand up fight back - against the megalomaniacs
Stand up fight back - slave masters with super PACS
Predestination mechanized representation privatized
Play your part strata confines this is your l ife in dollar signs
Patronize misguide divide partisan polarized disguise
Their political allegiance lies with the masters of mankind
The function of a government
To protect the minority of oppulent
From the majority of citizens
We're all dead peasants
Stand up fight back - metadata and wire taps
Stand up fight back - news cycle amnesiacs
Stand up fight back - the social mores that distract
Stand up fight back - and the autocratic ruling class
Hold their feet to the fire keep your eyes on trails of paper
Don't let politicians be false banners for the ALEC and bankers
Power is from the top down but consent is the bottom up
Without their foundations state houses are as good as dust
Make them answer to you - we are many they are few
Make them afraid of you - we are many they are few
The function of a government
To protect the minority of oppulent
From the majority of citizens
We're all dead peasants
Stand up fight back - the forfeited social contract
Stand up fight back - the ideologies of plutocrats
Stand up fight back - we've got the numbers got the facts
Stand up fight back - open your eyes, counter attack
You want us to keep dreaming but our broken beds are burning
Promises won't feed the hungry opiates won't stop the bleeding
Prosperity gospil praying is as good as the poison air we're breathing
The function of a government
To protect the minority of oppulent
From the majority of citizens
We're all dead peasants
Stand up fight back - the socioeconomic trap
Stand up fight back - Panama Paper's idea of tax
Stand up fight back - against the megalomaniacs
Stand up fight back - slave masters with super PACS
Predestination mechanized representation privatized
Play your part strata confines this is your l ife in dollar signs
Patronize misguide divide partisan polarized disguise
Their political allegiance lies with the masters of mankind
The function of a government
To protect the minority of oppulent
From the majority of citizens
We're all dead peasants
Stand up fight back - metadata and wire taps
Stand up fight back - news cycle amnesiacs
Stand up fight back - the social mores that distract
Stand up fight back - and the autocratic ruling class
Hold their feet to the fire keep your eyes on trails of paper
Don't let politicians be false banners for the ALEC and bankers
Power is from the top down but consent is the bottom up
Without their foundations state houses are as good as dust
Make them answer to you - we are many they are few
Make them afraid of you - we are many they are few
The function of a government
To protect the minority of oppulent
From the majority of citizens
We're all dead peasants
Stand up fight back - the forfeited social contract
Stand up fight back - the ideologies of plutocrats
Stand up fight back - we've got the numbers got the facts
Stand up fight back - open your eyes, counter attack
