War and slavery, exploitation
The common faces of the western nations
Official version, a falsified story
The truth lies buried in a shroud of glory

Influential people aren't serving time
For being involved in organized crime
But stashed away in beautiful mansions
Guess who provides for their generous pensions?

Oppression, ignorance, censorship rule
Education is more than what's taught in school
Forced in the mold, held down by threats
Decisions are made over our heads

But there is a way to refuse and resist
We don't need to be ruled with the iron fist
We are the people, we are strong
Let's make up our minds and call them wrong

Black man, white man, yellow man
Rip the system

Religion and TV, we're under the thumb
Grown to believe because we're already numb
