Everywhere I look everything looks the same
h*mogenized state of decay
There ain't much left that ain't been compromised
For a profit; at least that's the way I call it
(murder) Another million made in the sweat shops
(murder) Another victim of the pressure drop and it's
(murder) in the market place (murder) it makes no sense to me
Conspiracy to steal your soul
Create walking billboards with corporate logos
Zombies in the shopping megaplex
Economy based on training the rats
We've been goin in the wrong direction too long
And it's too late to fix the system
Goin in the wrong direction too long, and it's too late
So if you wanna firebomb Starbucks (it's alright by me!)
And if you wanna shoplift at Wal-Mart (it's alright by me!)
And if you wanna vandalize a McDonalds
Take a baseball bat to that corporate clown Ronald
If you wanna set town hall on fire
Judge the judges and sentence em to firing lines
'Cause it's those mutha f**as that should be doin time
Not some poor sap smokin weed trying to tune out the dominant paradigm
And I said whoa whoa sh** is gettin rough
Remember when the cops used to be lookin out for us
Officer O'Malley helpin granny cross the street
Givin candy to the kids, keepin k**ers off the street
Now he signed a deal with the highway patrol
Give him lip, you'll end up on national tv yo
You got the right to remain silent
But that's just how they like it, nice and compliant
So I'd rather scream instead
I'd rather go out loud, than a sheep being led to the slaughter
I'm sayin f** law and order
f** work, f** taxes, f** national borders (3x)
Well they just made that sh** up to protect the status quo
And if ya slip up then they can f** ya yo
So if you wanna smash a dare van (it's alright by me!)
Kick a crown victoria's lights in (it's alright by me!)
And if you wanna punch the magistrate's face in
Make him look stupid in front of all of his cop friends
If you wanna set the court on fire
Judge the judges and sentence them to firing lines
'Cause it's those mutha f**as that should be doin time
Not some poor sap smokin weed trying to tune out the dominant paradigm
It's alright by me! (3x)
