The Lie

Do you sometimes feel like you're being used?
Are you forced into a different view?
Do hypocrites try to threaten you?
"Do as I say and not what I do"
Do you get treated like a sack of shit?
Do you think your life isn't worth living?
Do you get told what to say and do?
Are you sick of all of the abuse?

A broken society treats humans like robots
They say you have no reason to feel this way
An upper caste of the corrupt takes power
Telling you it's your mistake
Fascists find minority groups to abuse
They turn and say that the bigotry's excused
And a president of a foreign nation
Has the tools to control what you do

We are all taught a lie
The lie that we have our freedoms
The lie that we all act as equals
The lie that we are not mistreated
The lie that there is no caste system

Do you get called out for what you do?
Are you forced to be a person you never knew?
Do tyrants want to execute
For all the things you really knew?
Do you get attacked for being yourself?
Do you have to act like someone else?
Are you too scared to say what you do?
Are you sick of all the persecution?

A power-craving tyrant attacks your freedom
They say it's unnatural to feel this way
A stuck-up prat sends you to the showers
Telling you about a choice you made
Fascists find innocents to persecute
They turn and blame it on the gays and the Jews
And a fraudulent cunt in the oval office
Has a camera in your living room

We are all taught a lie
The lie that we have our freedoms
The lie that we all act as equals
The lie that we are not mistreated
The lie that there is no caste system

Do they act like something's wrong with you?
Are you taught to feel the same way too?
Do they say that you are an issue?
Do they pretend that it's not abuse?
Are you a second class citizen?
Will they blame it all on you again?
Will they do it in the name of God?
Do they tell you that you don't belong?

A parasitic prick invades your homes
They rewrite the law to say that you should go
A paranoid moron murders for fun
And says it's justified because of who you love
The Supreme Court votes on your body
And tries to make you who they want you to be
A nation votes on how it will implode
And it predicts it much too soon

We are all taught a lie
The lie that we have our freedoms
The lie that we all act as equals
The lie that we are not mistreated
The lie that there is no caste system

A broken society treats humans like robots
They say you have no reason to feel this way
An upper caste of the corrupt takes power
Telling you it's your mistake
Fascists find minority groups to abuse
They turn and say that the bigotry's excused
And a president of a foreign nation
Has the tools to control what you do

We are all taught a lie
The lie that we have our freedoms
The lie that we all act as equals
The lie that we are not mistreated
The lie that there is no caste system
