Lyrics
verse 1: social reform is always the norm
in a land where nothin? is free
the poor go to war not knowing what for
and the rich say i?m glad it?s not me
but when the haves call the shots for all the have nots
it seems like they don?t have a heart
taking nerves to the edge, they?re driving a wedge
that?s tearing this country apart
chorus: please do something about it
your ego will bend
please do something about it
or it will never end
it will never end
verse 2: we see the leaders checking the meters
to see if they?re still on the rise
knowing full well they don?t give a hell
if anyone lives or dies
when it?s all about money they just find it funny
when humanity tries to survive
it?s always the same, they think it?s a game
as long as they?re still alive
chorus
bridge: they?re taking our children
with no regard for the world
domination is the only goal
you and i don?t matter
do you really believe we matter ?
verse 3: we know we don?t need ?em to fight for our freedom
when we?re eating three meals a day
they?re going through hell and even they can tell
all their freedom?s gone away
will someone ask why we send ?em to die
so we can live the American dream
the world has to know America?s goal
is falling apart at the seams
chorus
