Trouble and pain everywhere it can be
But no one is willing to stop and see
Distraction reaction most certainly
Numbs the sense of responsibility
Poems and rhyming, oh, so happy and free
Let’s go on an, oh, so giant shopping spree
My favorite team, oh, what a close win
My favorite show, oh, how it turns and spins
Music and drugs, oh, dancing gay and with glee
Hard and late mornings, oh, where’s the coffee?
Movies and stars, oh, how they give me escape
To completely forget the great human rape
Both near and far and in our very homes
It’s time to acknowledge the chains on our bones
We're all trapped in a debt based economy
The government's in bed with big industry
The TV is bought and owned and controlled
GMO’s in our food are hidden not bold
Corporations are people with full human rights
While our rights disappear with no end in sight
No Choice in the matter, you're taking that shot
Bad reaction or not, control is what's sought
All activities are tracked and cataloged
Cause of the government’s fake terrorist fog
War in five countries and
they’re looking for more
The waste of trillions while fucking the poor
But Big Brother Obama is so freakin’ cool
It’s hard to speak while I gawk and I drool
But Bush, Republican, Democrat, or not
They’re on the same team and they’re screwing the lot
From inside the matrix it seems I’m crazy
But boundless is my faith in humanity:
To release the fear the strangleholds our lives,
This bitter attraction to all of the lies;
To ignite the flame and passion inside,
The power of love in our heart it resides;
To recognize and affirm the god in us all,
That we’re the deciders if we fly or we fall
So which will it be freedom or slavery?
The choice is that serious most certainly
Will we stand to our feet and breathe real change?
Or will we stay in our seats for more of the same?
I know who we are and what we can be
So the choice for me was made quite simply
The world it awaits for us to partake
To create the greatest human slave escape
The strength of our voice is all that we'll need
To nourish the soil and plant this new seed
But first we must lose the fear of being awake
To bring truth to the world and relieve all the senseless ache
