What It's Like

You follow blindly without any thought...
You'll never know, never know, what it's like
To be righteous and know you can't be bought
You'll never know, never know, what it's like

They want you to fall in line, turn off your mind
Never wonder about the number or the poverty line
Just keep on trying and grinding, working every day
Forty hours this week: making pennies for pay
Big Brother gathers the wealth, think for yourself
Why is it too much to ask to pay fair wages for help?
And it's crazy to me, that one in three children go hungry
In NYC, While those crooks on Wall Street tend to run free

You follow blindly without any thought...
You'll never know, never know, what it's like
To be righteous and know you can't be bought
You'll never know, never know, what it's like

I want you to go outside, open your eyes wide
Help your brother and your sisters to converge this great divide
Always question. Invest in people and I'm betting
That they won't disappoint. Be careful who you appoint
We the people surely have a need to unite
Now more than ever, we need to use our voice: it's our right
Keep yourself clever: it's the only way to get by in life
Now and forever: I'll speak out loud against human plight
I ask you kindly: make a difference in this endless fight?
Don't follow blindly, the passerby guilty upon sight
Don't let those slimy politicians go and fog up your sight
Stand up for human rights if you care for all life

You follow blindly without any thought...
You'll never know, never know, what it's like
To be righteous and know you can't be bought
You'll never know, never know, what it's like
