lyrics

Why is it that we're taught that it's cool
to be a definition of a fool
I wanna know who writes these rules.

What they are distracting you from
is the person you have potential to become
they want broken little slaves
so scared that they have to behave

What is it that you really want
stuff that you don't need that you can flaunt
Don't let no one tell you who you are
we are all made out of stars

Don't let them keep you behind bars
inside your mind embedded with scars
It's time that we break free
from this mental slavery

We're going to a tea party
is it because we're blind that it's called liberty
Taxation is theft from you and me
What happened to Democracy
puppetry and hypocrisy

All of our politicians are for sale
So they can enforce corporate bales
It's a system that never fails

We're a tax crop on a big field
taxation is what they yield
Government has been hijacked
Grab a pitch fork and let's take it back
