lyrics

There's a reason education sucks, and it's the same reason it will never, ever, ever be fixed.
It's never gonna get any better.
Don't look for it.
Be happy with what you got.
Because the owners of this country don't want that.

I'm talking about the real owners, now.
The real owners, the big wealthy business interest that control things and make all the important decisions.

Forget the politicians.
The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice.
You don't.
You have no choice.

You have owners.
They own you.
They own everything.
They own all the important land.
They own and control the corporations.

They've long since bought and paid for the Senate, the House, the State Houses, the City Halls, they got the judges in their back pockets, and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all the news and information you get to hear.
They got you by the balls.

They spend billions of dollars every year...
Lobbying.
Lobbying to get what they want.
Well, we know what they want.
They want more for themselves and less for everybody else.

Well, I'll tell you what they don't want.
They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking.
They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking.
They're not interested in that.
That doesn't help them.
That's against their interest.
That's right.

They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table to figure out how badly they're getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard thirty fucking years ago.
They don't want that.
You know what they want?

They want...
Obedient workers.

Obedient workers.
Obedient workers.
Obedient workers.
Obedient workers.
Obedient workers.
Obedient workers.
Obedient workers.
Obedient workers.

People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime, and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it.

And now, they're coming for your Social Security money.
They want your fucking retirement money.
They want it back.
So they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street.
And you know something?
They'll get it.
They'll get it all from you, sooner or later.
Because they own this fucking place.

It's a big club, and you ain't it.
It's a big club, and you ain't it.
And you ain't it.
And you ain't it.
It's a big club, and you ain't it.

You and I are not in the big club.
By the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long where they tell you what to believe.
All day long, beating you over the head in their media.
Telling you what to believe, what to think, and what to buy.

The table is tilted folks.
The game is rigged.
And nobody seems to notice.
Nobody seems to care.

Good, honest, hard working people; white collar, blue collar, doesn't matter what color shirt you have on...
Good, honest, hard working people continue; these are people of modest beings; continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don't give a fuck about them.
They don't give a fuck about you.
They don't give a fuck about you!

They don't give a fuck about you!
They don't give a fuck about you!
They don't give a fuck about you!
They don't give a fuck- give a fuck!
They don't give a fuck about you!
They don't give a fuck about you!
They don't give a fuck about you!
They don't give a fuck- give a fuck!

They don't care about you.
At all.
At all.
At all.
Nah.
Y'know?

And nobody seems to notice.
Nobody seems to care.

That's what the owners count on.
The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that's being jammed up their assholes every day.

Because the owners of this country know the truth...
It's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.
