The System Only Works For Them
I used to work for the man but then I got smart
It took me quite awhile to become an upstart
I used to slave away my days and squander all the nights
Now I've got lottsa energy to give 'em a fight
The banks and corporations steal and deceive
They tell you can win if you only believe
But they never give you more, always less than you need
Is this what it means to be free?
The system is corrupt, it's the tool of wicked
But you can't be a slave, if you've never submitted
You can die fighting back or down on your knees
The system only works for them
I went to all their schools, learned their history
They fed me all the lies of white supremacy
They taught me to be cruel and to glorify greed
Now lets turn it back on them, until they bleed and agree that
Cops enforce the regulations of the elite
The most efficient way that they can swindle and cheat
Stand up for your rights, because its all that you got
And never trust a fuckin cop
The system is corrupt, it's the tool of wicked
But you can't be a slave, if you've never submitted
You can die fighting back or down on your knees
The system only works for them
The system is corrupt, it's the tool of wicked
But you can't be a slave, if you've never submitted
You can die fighting back or down on your knees
The system only works for them
The system is corrupt, it's the tool of wicked
But you can't be a slave, if you've never submitted
You can die fighting back or down on your knees
The system only works for them
Believing that we have a right to liberty
We bow down at the alter of economy
and labor for the fruits of inequality
We do it everyday its just insanity
Run until you're dead and still you lost the race
Lying on the slab you've got a happy face
Cuz you thought you were a member of the master race
But they never even knew that you existed
Everything you own comes from the Chinese
Can't afford the drugs that save us from disease
We've cut down all the trees and killed all the bees
And all we do is talk shit on the internet
We gotta knock 'em down - you gotta stand up
We gotta knock 'em down - you gotta stand up
We gotta knock 'em down - you gotta stand up
We gotta knock 'em down - you gotta stand up
It took me quite awhile to become an upstart
I used to slave away my days and squander all the nights
Now I've got lottsa energy to give 'em a fight
The banks and corporations steal and deceive
They tell you can win if you only believe
But they never give you more, always less than you need
Is this what it means to be free?
The system is corrupt, it's the tool of wicked
But you can't be a slave, if you've never submitted
You can die fighting back or down on your knees
The system only works for them
I went to all their schools, learned their history
They fed me all the lies of white supremacy
They taught me to be cruel and to glorify greed
Now lets turn it back on them, until they bleed and agree that
Cops enforce the regulations of the elite
The most efficient way that they can swindle and cheat
Stand up for your rights, because its all that you got
And never trust a fuckin cop
The system is corrupt, it's the tool of wicked
But you can't be a slave, if you've never submitted
You can die fighting back or down on your knees
The system only works for them
The system is corrupt, it's the tool of wicked
But you can't be a slave, if you've never submitted
You can die fighting back or down on your knees
The system only works for them
The system is corrupt, it's the tool of wicked
But you can't be a slave, if you've never submitted
You can die fighting back or down on your knees

We gotta knock 'em down - you gotta stand up
We gotta knock 'em down - you gotta stand up
We gotta knock 'em down - you gotta stand up
