The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One man's in
'Cause one man's out
Regurgitation from a brand new mouth
We watch the picture
But don't realize
That it's a new movie that's been colorized
No change
No change
No change
No change
Yeah, no change
We stumble left
And then we stagger right
And monkey in the middle thinks that's alright
You'll piss and moan until they sense your doubt
Then they'll just throw you a bone
And then you shut your mouth
No change
No change
No change
No change
Yeah, no change
This democracy, yeah, is a running joke
Where everything's done with mirrors and smoke
You think you've got a choice because you can vote
To wash down their shit with a Pepsi or Coke
No
Don't wanna give up what I've got
Just keep your hands off what I've got
Can't mix the haves with the have-nots
They should be happy with their lot
Don't try to take what I've got
I don't want to give up what I've got, no
Here's where I put my foot down
Down
Down
Down
Let me go
We hear the lies
And we believe the lies
'Cause we've been taught the lies for our entire lives
We spread the lies and validate the lies
We reaffirm the lies till they make up more lies
