You wake up on your soapbox

At the crack of dawn, to stick it to

The man who's in charge of everything

That you can't quite understand

When the anger wells inside of you

Just make sure that you know where it's directed to

Well you argue it a thousand times and you never change

Claim they're thinking with their wallets, not their pain

In a world that you created

You sleep inside a crater of your mind, your mind

So you've been living a joke

Trying to act like we're protecting ourselves

Before the minute was up they learned

But in the hills we seek no refuge

We can't hide from the scope of their corruption

No we can't hide from the bullet shells

And I said

Why don't we think about

What we're doing to each other

I said

Why don't we think about

So you've been living a joke

Trying to act like we're protecting ourselves

So you've been living a joke

You're trying to act like
