lyrics

This is the new insurrection
See the writing on the streets
Naysayers with misdirection
Don't believe the shit they feed
Talking heads that spread the infection
A message of hate to keep their revenue streams
Paranoia sells and decides elections
Through the mind-washed mass, blind to hypocrisy

Please tell me, what's the right answer
The same old thing, so tried and true
Spin the past and shamelessly pander to
The homes of the poor and the land of the few

Heartbreaking, again and again
They try to do the right thing but there's no end to
Unjustified crime towards those who never chose
As they struggle to show those who don't want to know
Time to burn it all down, start anew
We'll find another path than the one our parents knew
It's too late to replace or erase the mistakes
Time to smash the system, tear it out at the roots

Please tell me, what's the right answer
The same old thing, so tried and true
Spin the past and shamelessly pander to
The homes of the poor and the land of the few
