about

"Making promises you can't keep
Hungry wolves dressed like sheep
Shake our hands, Stab Our Backs
I don't know why they do us like that

Politicians, better get right
These conditions ain't no good for life
whose decision is it anyway?
I don't know why they do us like that"

lyrics

"Politicians Interlude"

Why they do us like that?
Why they do us like this?
The invisible hand of the market has a tight fist
Ruling class donates, wealth gap widens
Only foolish lambs vote to lie down with lions
Corruption payin' for systematic violence
So gluttons stay rich, while they rape the environment
Reforms just forestall the collapse
We live in a war basically based on class
Gender, sexuality, and race detract
From how much cash you can stack
We face a run on the state by the banks
Public purse ransacked,
Safety nets slashed,
You ask why that
Stray-shots spray cops
Who die fast
When fat cats scratch backs for pay-offs
Riots are backlash,
For sweat-shops & lay-offs,
Fast-track to liberation
From brain-wash so blast back!


Verse 2:

While they did us like that
We’ve reached critical mass,
No turning back, it’s physical fact,
We live in the earth’s dying gasp
Got out the fire,
now here’s the frying pan
Streams so polluted,
Wonder how the fish hatch
Trees consumed for lumber,
Forests turned to thick ash
What the point of land-grabs
If planet can’t adapt
What good is hoarding wealth
When no one left to buy your crap
So think on that,
When you vote republicrat
They don’t represent you,
They represent the owning class
Phony cats, with crony rats
Who signed donation checks
Won’t toe the line,
I pay em no respect

I pay 'em no fuckin' respect
