Abundance and prosperity
Comforts built by smiles
Religion and conformity
Living in denial
Wears a mask of happiness
Shakes your hand in jest
Has a million new ideas
For you to invest
When you fail to see
The evil powers that be
They crack open your dome
Hid safe inside your home
And leave you there to die
Like garbage tossed aside
So be careful where you step
Speak your mind in depth
Speak clearly for the world to hear
No longer secrets kept
Now the world’s abuzz
We do what we must
To represent the working class
Predicated on their trust
Rising up to meet the snake
No need to make a fuss
But I stand; no longer sit
Through the grime and grit
Hands filthy even when washed
Shiny clean with spit
With terror in their eyes
Forces mobilized
Form a wall of blatant lies
And build it to the sky
Dare to make a scene
Working for the dream
They feed you on the television
Yet they know you sight unseen
Disregard the law?
They’ll be at your door
To lock you in a cage
Filling you with rage
The key got thrown away
That look upon your face
Tells of self defeat
And that the system can’t be beat
