lyrics

the middle class has always been taught to hate the poor
be obedient to the ruling class and never ask for more
this idea of classism is embedded in our minds
by prejudice media and politician lies
the media focuses on the supposed harmful poor
by targeting people on healthcare, minorities, and more
by demonizing poverty they make the privilege apathetic
which only adds to the poverty epidemic
the poor are seen as freeloaders benefiting from the system
this mindset causes controversy on government assistance
as the rich keep getting richer
the poor turn to crime
so they can end up in a prison institution doing time

the rich are in control
they turn us on each other
as you are bought and sold
one after another

the capitalistic system seems impossible to avoid
for the fear of not surviving when you become unemployed
when the rich control the politics, the media, and your food
it's no wonder why society's perception is skewed
prejudice and hatred and gentrification
are all tools they use to smokescreen their oppression
this behavior isn't new
there's always been a ruling class
and an obedient society is what lets this bullshit pass
we are always taught to look out for number one
think of us and ours and shun
anybody who needs help and tries to reach out
we don't have the empathy to trust their intentions without doubt

the rich are in control
they turn us on each other
as you are bought and sold
one after another
fight the ruling class you can learn to be free
take your life back or be a political detainee
political detainee
political detainee
political detainee
political detainee
