Even  if it's easy  to be free
 What's  your definition  of freedom?
And  who  the fuck are you, anyway?
Who  the fuck am I to say?
What  the fuck is  really going on?
How  did the  cat get so  fat?
 Why  does the family die?
Do  you care why?
'cause  there hasn't been a  sign
 Of anything gettin' better  in the ghetto
 People's  fed up
 But  when they get up
 Palm Mute
You  point your fuckin'  finger
You  racist, you bigot
But  that's not the problem
Now  is it?
It's  all about the  money
Political  power is  takin
Protecting  the rich denying  the poor
Yeah,  they love to watch the  war from the  White House
 And I wonder  how can they sleep at night?
How  can they sleep at night?
How  did the  cat get so  fat? (x4)
