Who do you call
When the police murders
We talk about it for a few weeks
And then boil it down to murmurs

The leaders of the world
And the people in high places
They want to make the big decisions
But rarely show their faces

And it’s almost as bad
To look down and shut up
We should be screaming the fact
That the system is corrupt

Life is like a game of chess
Your status dictates where you get to go,
But when you think yourself a queen,
It’s hard to get a no.

When you’re in fact a pawn,
And get to play as king,
You’ll let the power get to your head,
And the country you will wring.

You hear them groaning,
Under your weight,
You hear whispers of impeachment,
In every state.

You’ve cut your voters,
Down by half,
You yell “we’ll buy Greenland!”,
And you’ll hear Denmark laugh.

There’s nothing to do
You’ve lost them all
And it all started when you stood up and yelled
“We’ll build a big wall!”
