lyrics

This number game is too complicated
It leaves broke and uneducated
All the while we strive for ground
Manipulated to keep us down!

Placated into social unrest
Because blind eyes can't see you through
The system was made to keep us in line
And maintained by me and you

How do you get a world to eat shit with a smile on their face, you just make them forget
The tallest staircase has a lowest step
Each one as important (as the next)

This number game is too complex
These tax men break and breathe down our necks
All the while we strive for ground
Manipulated to keep us down

I can't believe
What I thought was important to me
Was just an elaborate scheme
To steal my self esteem

But I won't let these dark days bring me down

We're fuckin tired
Spinning these wheels
In a machine that's designed to feed off our labor
It gets bigger everyday
But we're not moving on

Every day now is full of strife
But I'm down here to take back my life
Every step has its rightful place
I'll find my own way out
This number game is complicated
We need to get ourselves educated
Stick together and take strength in the crowd
We'll all keep moving on
