Did you know that you live in a racist society
Did you know you're the privileged class
And everybody else is essentially taking it up the ass
Did you know that you could be free
Did you know that's not the way that it has to be
Did you know you can still change everything
Did you know that there's no such thing as equality
And there might never be if you don't change
Did you know that you live in a war zone (culturally)
Did you know that your parents were fucked
When they taught you how to fear anybody who wasn't white enough
Did you know that you could be free
Did you know that's not the way that it has to be
Did you know you can still change everything
Did you know that the older you get
It gets easier to blame somebody else for your own mess
Did you know that the Jews don't run the world
And all black men aren't criminals
Did you know there's a lot of money to be made
From keeping you paranoid, suspicious, worried, frightened
All wound up and tense inside 'cause
Big business runs the government and it's not good business
If we burn down the government so they keep us occupied
With moron TV shows and shitty beer that wipes out brain cells
And whining about Congress and stupid fucking income taxes
And if that's not enough
To keep your mind off of
The way you're getting dicked around
They fill you with fear and hate
Give you someone to blame
For all your problems
While the country's going down the fucking toilet
Do you know what they think of you
Do you know how contemptuous they are of you
Do you know how easy you are to fool
You're like a dog doing after a ball that was never thrown
Well guess what you're on your own Good luck
