You're an epic success or a f*cking failure
And there's no in between
You can rise above or you can sink like a stone
And it's nobody's fault but your own
Nevermind generational poverty
Nevermind the f*cking patriarchy
And forget about those deeply held racist beliefs
That's a first amendment thing
They focus on the individual
To obscure the systems that affect us all
Did you ever notice how our Overton Window
Is well and truly broken?
There's a sliver of daylight on the left
And on the right it's wide f*cking open
They'll have you committed if you say with a straight face
"You know, we don't need capitalism"
But jail a couple thousand non-white kids for no reason
And the world just keeps on turning
And the geo group turns a profit
And their christian base f*cking loves it
Make no mistake we've all been poisoned
Whether it's the lead in our pipes or the propaganda on our airwaves
And a whole world of institutions designed to fails us
While they function for somebody else
They focus on the individual
To obscure the fact that this is hell
