The game we play is life and d**h Your worth measured in dollars and in cents There ain’t no lifeline coming (coming!) Unless you pay the price (the price!) Your hope, freedom, your sanity A product, not a right These are the days that test your heart and soul Strap yourself in for the American Fall Day after day it is all crash and burn A nation hijacked by the criminals Whoa oh oh, whoa oh Whoa oh oh, whoa oh Yeah Your neighbor is your enemy Your real friends are on the TV They’re selling lies and self-loathing Nothing no one should pay to be The cost of healthcare, the cost of guns The cost of knowledge, the cost of love When prison is an industry
Somebody’s getting locked away Uninvited to the party They’re cold, afraid and starving There’s gotta be more To the millions who are marching Than a separation of just a few degrees Between evil, famine and the disease These are the days that test your heart and soul Strap yourself in for the American Fall Day after day it is all crash and burn A nation hijacked by the criminals Whoa oh oh, whoa oh Whoa oh oh, whoa oh Reject the criminality That monetizes our humanity Construct a new reality Where you’re not just a number, you’re a name We’ll never have our dignity Till all you fascists are six feet deep
