Chain Stores got us in chains...

lyrics

"Break the Chains"

Strife Verse:

Feds try to choke us,
If we’re organized and focused,
Fuck political hocus pocus,
patriotic psychosis,
world wide hypnosis
politrixians holdin
rabbits they pulled from hats
Starving us with sleight of hand
While living fat off the land
Keeping track of stocks forgetting the facts and
Grabbing quarters in stacks behind our ears
Free-market magicians make us (lives) disappear
if we don’t repeat their cheers, fill hearts with icy fear
Trade blood sweat and tears for stares and jeers,
Yuppie insects, got us roped in a mangled mold
teeth sunk in our throats choked by strangleholds
Capitalist exports, death and misery for sale
Only shelter supplied to (the poor) impoverished are the jails
The rich enslaves our brains to ride the gravy train
Nine to five (we) strive our whole lives in vain
Picking our masters is reforging our chains
Say what you want, I won’t do what you say
Picking our masters is reforging our (own) chains


Hook:

Running circles in place
Locked down by the state
The upper class hold your fate
It’s real hard to escape
When tangled in red-tape
feds scrape your face
Straight across the concrete,
Elites put ya ta sleep
Then count us as sheep
We need to take back the streets
From child-molesting priests
to crooked cops on the beat
with full immunity
Cause our doom’s soon-to-be
Provoking mass-lunacy…
But there's Strength in community
