I'm telling you

These arbitrary rules

For superstitious fools

And they don't have a clue

They're killing me

Oh, they're killing you

And it gets better

They kill their mothers too

They don't even know

They play into their hands

We try to let them know

But they don't understand

Their programming is strong

Generations come and gone

They think that we're all wrong

So challenged

Oh, they try to keep us down

We just keep on coming

So defiant in the face of power

Yeah, this world has let us down

In this darkest hour

Despite it all

We still stand tall

Will you let us know

Where does all the money go?

You think it trickles down?

Well, welcome down below

Haha, yeah, that's what I thought

You say justice can't be bought

I say check any cell

(Any cell, any cell at all)

Try to let them know

But they don't understand

And to think that we're all wrong

It's maddening

Oh, they try to keep us down

We just keep on coming

So defiant in the face of power

Yeah, this world has let us down

In this darkest hour

Despite it all

We still stand tall

Yeah, they try to keep us down

We just keep on coming

So defiant in the face of power

Yeah, this world has let us down

In this darkest hour

Despite it all

We still stand tall

Oh, they try to keep us down

We just keep on coming

So defiant in the face of power

Yeah, this world has let us down

In this darkest hour

Despite it all

We still stand tall

Yeah, they try to keep us down

We just keep on coming

So defiant in the face of power

Yeah, this world has let us down

In this darkest hour

Despite it all

We still stand tall
