Try to change the system

And you’ll fail a million ways

Eventually it will be back

To reinstate its darkest days

Escape it, run and hide

It finds you

Taxes you and tosses you away

Like paper, plastic

Then reminds you how to choose

For who to lose for in the war

Enlists the poor

To fight its battles

Till it’s kickin’ down their door

And all the winners, so much winning

Never read but write the story

So its narrative is simplified

In God’s gold-standard glory

But it’s gory let me tell ‘ya

They’ll show burning baby boomers

They’ll build nations out of hatred

They’ll make zombies of consumers

But the realest of idealists

Keep it Lucy diamond left

On all that it’s my body policy

And corporate theft success

But also know what’s right

What’s good and just

What’s fair and free

Of broken trust
