One Rule For The Rich
One rule for the rich
One rule for the poor
The ones who say we must obey
Are all above the law
They're the ones who make the rules
The rules that they ignore
One rule for the rich
One rule for the poor
For all the bodies in the streets
They refuse to take the blame
For the blood that's on their hands
The evil deeds done in their name
They keep us down and keep us dumb
They keep us underneath their thumbs
Wind us up and grind us down
Keep us dumb and keep us down
Someone on every corner
Just begging to survive
Someone on every corner
Just trying to stay alive
Someone on every corner
And all they need is food
While the rich get richer
And the poor get screwed
They think that no one sees it
They think no one cares
They think that we believe them
And we don't feel despair
They think that we can't see the truth
They think that we don't know
It's the same hand in both puppets
In this punch and judy show
There might be a grain of truth
Buried in their lies
But it's hard to keep perspective
Face to face with everything that you despise
So you do what you are told
And think that you are free
Believe things you read somewhere
And not the things you see
The hidden world
The other world
The world that lies beneath
We dream that we're awake
But we're all walking in our sleep
One rule for the rich
One rule for the poor
And the ones who say we must obey
Are all above the law
Every time they open their mouths
It's like another turd falls out
Till we're up to our necks
In their shit and deceit
They have the gall to stand there
And claim that they are one of us
While all the time they're making their plans
To throw us under the bus
Burning bridges
Building walls
Rallying the mob
Playing to the gallery
Money is their god
And this 3-ring shit show circus
A disgrace to the human race
We fed the gremlins after dark
And now
We've gotta pay
No shred of humanity
Their hubris and vanity
Is feeding their insanity
And they're just bleeding us dry
They're a tapeworm
In the guts of the earth
Consuming it from the inside
They're everything that's fucked up in the world
And they're the reason why
One rule for the poor
The ones who say we must obey
Are all above the law
They're the ones who make the rules
The rules that they ignore
One rule for the rich
One rule for the poor
For all the bodies in the streets
They refuse to take the blame
For the blood that's on their hands
The evil deeds done in their name
They keep us down and keep us dumb
They keep us underneath their thumbs
Wind us up and grind us down
Keep us dumb and keep us down
Someone on every corner
Just begging to survive
Someone on every corner
Just trying to stay alive
Someone on every corner
And all they need is food
While the rich get richer
And the poor get screwed
They think that no one sees it
They think no one cares
They think that we believe them
And we don't feel despair
They think that we can't see the truth
They think that we don't know
It's the same hand in both puppets
In this punch and judy show
There might be a grain of truth
Buried in their lies
But it's hard to keep perspective
Face to face with everything that you despise

We dream that we're awake

One rule for the rich
One rule for the poor
