Corrupt One - Remastered
So many full of arrogance
But we are so blessed to be Americans
God throws tests at our merriment
And we run for the woods like Robin Hood and his merry men
We rob from the poor when we got it
And blame shift like a bunch of kids playing Not It
Were overprivileged and unappreciative about it
My mission is to be efficient in preaching the topic so stop it
This corruption of my memory is stressing me
God is testing me to see how at rest I be
I be checking my watch when every five minutes pass
Just in case one of them happens to be my last
Cause things are getting hairier and scarier in sight
Heres my wife barely living help me carry her to light
This body is on earth for just a fleeting glance
And there hardly is a church for God
to complete his plans so
How can I try to change this corrupt one
When I see all of the dysfunction
How can I try to change this corrupt one
When I see all of the dysfunction
Nowadays we are powerless slaves without an outwardly gaze
How are we a bunch of cowardly knaves living off an hourly wage
Our sour-sweet ways will devour our days for days
And how are we paid with the work that we do with our hands
Im telling you that sure can devour a man
Im selling you a useless benefit plan
So I can pay the rent for my aluminum can
My hole in the wall my side of the hall
My refrigerator box with my possessions and all
But how can I complain when I got shoes to slip on
All the homeless got is some booze to sip on
They say the meek will inherit the earth
How can that be if they wont even cherish the work
And Americans won't even merit their worth
We cash our checks and dont think of charity first
How can I try to change this corrupt one
When I see all of the dysfunction
How can I try to change this corrupt one
When I see all of the dysfunction
How can I try to change
How can I try to change
How can I try to change
This corrupt one
How can I try to change this corrupt one
When I see all of the dysfunction
How can I try to change this corrupt one
When I see all of the dysfunction
But we are so blessed to be Americans
God throws tests at our merriment
And we run for the woods like Robin Hood and his merry men
We rob from the poor when we got it
And blame shift like a bunch of kids playing Not It
Were overprivileged and unappreciative about it
My mission is to be efficient in preaching the topic so stop it
This corruption of my memory is stressing me
God is testing me to see how at rest I be
I be checking my watch when every five minutes pass
Just in case one of them happens to be my last
Cause things are getting hairier and scarier in sight
Heres my wife barely living help me carry her to light
This body is on earth for just a fleeting glance
And there hardly is a church for God
to complete his plans so
How can I try to change this corrupt one
When I see all of the dysfunction
How can I try to change this corrupt one
When I see all of the dysfunction
Nowadays we are powerless slaves without an outwardly gaze
How are we a bunch of cowardly knaves living off an hourly wage

When I see all of the dysfunction
How can I try to change this corrupt one
When I see all of the dysfunction
How can I try to change
How can I try to change
How can I try to change
This corrupt one
How can I try to change this corrupt one
When I see all of the dysfunction
How can I try to change this corrupt one
When I see all of the dysfunction
