Remedy

You can't catch a break
In the endless sea of traffic taking up every lane
You're just another case
Proudly wearing all that privilege upon your face
With everything at stake
You're just gonna keep on rubbernecking through that high speed chase
Yeah
It's not a matter of time
You just keep sitting back and hoping it'll all be fine

Keep them on their knees
Practice what you preach

Red handed
Thought you got off clean
You turned your back on us for all to see
We chanted
And marched on the streets
The pain runs deep, we need a remedy
We need a remedy
We need a remedy

Some of us lie awake
Hoping our leaders will come swooping down to save the day
Uh, what a sick display
Another politician getting ready to take his cake
Think you can draw the lines
Then go on bending all the rules because they don't apply to you
Yeah well, you can run and hide
But it ain't gonna stop the masses hitting you with a reply

Seeing how far you can reach
Turning your back on the streets
Keeping them down on their knees
While they're practicing what you would preach

Red handed
Thought you got off clean
You turned your back on us for all to see
We chanted
And marched on the streets
The pain runs deep, we need a remedy
Left stranded
While you cause a scene,
Corrupt, untouchable, how could it be
You've planted
This fire in me
Come watch it spread, we are a remedy
We need a remedy
We are the remedy
