lyrics

Big heads walking round having left the lair.
Keeping in line anyone who looks like they dare .
We’re out there, we're in there, we are everywhere.
While they’re in there eating their meal prepared.
 So namelessly cooked and thanklessly hooked.
we slave away for approval lost we shook.
Sprung leak comes a dirty look. We pray.

Aren’t you sick of this? I know I hate this.
I know I’m so sick | Don’t you hate this shit?

Land of the free & the home of the brave.
Land of the free & the home of the brave.

Lethal force under a heap of pressure.
Those who are brave are not without fear .
Some of us are not feeling so reassured.
When asked to celebrate those who disappear .
Here we are out bleeding in the streets.
Criticized for crying out.
Let's get down with the divide.
Labeled defied, we get denied, refuse to dance the beat.
Left to face the heat  We live everyday in fear of one another.
 Ourselves we shall defeat .
We’re told there’s no deceit.
 We take it everyday, we take it lying down.
Take your ass up off their seats.
Scrape your knees and kiss their feats.

We live everyday in fear of our own mother.
Self appointed owner of the streets.
We walk their roads we wash their sheets.

We take it everyday, we’re stripped clean of our frowns.
We’re forced to eat their meat.
Smile and keep it neat.
 Aren’t you sick of this? I know I hate this.
I know I’m so sick | Don’t you hate this shit?

Land of the free & the home of the brave.
Land of the free & the home of the brave.

Can’t blame you for what you shout.
This world’s a hot mess & no one’s got it figured out .
We have our own bouts .
Reaffirmed philosophy.
 Check your horoscope.
Prepared daily happenstance.
Life is written in advance in the mold of a two step dance  .
Just take it all in stride, whether rich or poor, big or small.
Don’t let it get you down, keep on spinning you around.
Some people know your name and your favourite hat & the ones they speak to can’t relate "I’m sorry, who is that?”
Don’t matter what you did, what you failed to do, there’s no use in keeping frowns.
Wind up back in the ground.
We live every day in fear of one another.
