Shells

You wake up on your soapbox
At the crack of dawn, to stick it to
The man who's in charge of everything
That you can't quite understand
When the anger wells inside of you
Just make sure that you know where it's directed to

Well you argue it a thousand times and you never change
Claim they're thinking with their wallets, not their pain
In a world that you created,
you sleep inside a crater of your mind, your mind

I said,
Why don't we think about what we're doing to each other

So you've been living a joke
Trying to act like we're protecting ourselves
So you've been living a joke
Trying to act like...

There's nothing wrong in the scheme of things
Well scheme is the operative word
We use to load our guns in a minute
Before the minute was up they learned
Now we run to the hills
But in the hills we seek no refuge
We can't hide from the scope of their corruption
No we can't hide from the bullet shells

And I said,
Why don't we think about what we're doing to each other
I said,
Why don't we think about...

So you've been living a joke
Trying to act like we're protecting ourselves
So you've been living a joke
You're trying to act like...
