multi billion dollar corporate   media feeding us   all the lines   that we want to hear   we were all raised on the belief   that we would make it in this world   there's no reason for us to fear      i don't believe in those fairytales   like the american dream   where everyone wins   in the end   i've worked hard enough   and i've shed my tears   trying so hard but getting nowhere      how long will we go on   living on comfort   and sloth   when   the hungry   die in our streets   how long   will we believe the hype   they feed   fully   endorsed   by heartless greed      awaken sleeping proletariat   who holds the key   to public outcry   and a change in public policy   we must believe that this can happen   if we strive to be   more conscious of effort   to be free   we must build a better life   if our children can survive      i can not   stand by your side   and watch you   add to the lie   it's time for   us to take charge   this is our   our call to arms   we must defend our way of life
