Well you can get grades, toe the line
Keep your behind above the water in the meantime,
Join the corporate pyramid,
I couldn`t blame you if you did,
Until you sell out your brother while your sister falls,
Playin` daddy, doing the company crawl,
You don`t deserve your daughter`s kiss,
I know it`s sad,
That`s how it is.
Well, uptown there`s been more than an oilspill,
Another woman beaten, raped, blood spilled, male hate,
The paters couldn`t wait, racism, sell this,
Well there`s no excusin` in what I`m saying,
It`s just that there`s a million colours praying,
For real justice.
That`s how it really is.
You just get born, keep on keepin` on,
Defend yourself against the worries,
Try and have fun.
Party on until your number`s picked,
But beware `cos the fight is fixed,
It was them but it could be you next,
Paranoia saves lives,
So if you wanna exist,
Get your head `round this...
