So far below the surface like a subdermal clown
Looking so hard with your devil tattoos
Standing tall and proud so which will you choose
Government for the people by a real democracy
Or fall before Imperial Rule and drop down to your knee
Yeah I'm talking to you actual hypocrite
Walking Tall with your big ol' dumb stick
Holed up in your compound's artillery closet
So willing to kill and yet terrified to die
You'll never look any of your victims in the eye
While you dare to think it's others who are triggered
WTF is wrong with you after drinking their Kool-Aid?
Why can't you admit it's really y'all who are afraid?
You're the last to stand naked before the lion's den
Trusting in your skin deep fright and AK-47
Showing us your might by banding all together
If you're that scared of them taking all your guns
While voting for the kleptocrats who'll sacrifice your sons
Can't you see they're baiting you through all this extreme weather?
As if you and all your buddies can stand against them together
Use your brains for once and vote them out of office
We can keep our fishing rods and guns, I promise
If you think there's so much power in your self-controlled bullets
You ain't got nuthin' on the force coming down from the pulpits
And by voting for the right at this particular moment in time
We're just perpetuating and helping to erase the line
Between government and religion while you sit there feeling fine
All the while without a clue how they're using you to help undermine
The true glory and power of this country while you whine
About people with brown skin and queers and immigrants
What's it really matter to you anyhow holed up behind your fence
With designer camos, grim tattoos and listening to Slayer
Step out of your damn shoes for once and face it, you're a player
Being led on like a pawn on a chessboard so damn large
It's challenging to see over the horizon at whose in charge
While it sure as Hell isn't us with our attitude and ammo
We're being used, my friends, until the day that Blammo!
All of us get trapped within the snare these Fat Cats have set
And that will be the day you see what I've been saying I bet
If we can't see you and me are on the same side
As all the rest of us in this place along for the ride
Then what else can I say to you, my brothers and friends
Will we really keep on playing into their sick game until this ends
With greedy fucking bastards like some reality TV host president
Aiding and abetting the amoral majority in the Senate
Whose only dream is to line their own pockets, sick--innit?
And this wrinkled, murderous cabal of Overlords and thieves
Are all about to die of natural causes as they bleed
The rest of us all dry as a parched desert while their families inherit
All the power, filth, corruption and lies insuring they will bear it,
The responsibility of taking over those positions kept for them
To continue with their parlor tricks, pulling the wool over our eyes
While their corporations keep on polluting all our skies
And destroying the tenacious and resilient ecology
It really takes an overwhelming tide of perpetual industry
To do that don't cha know, I mean sure the Earth is really strong
But it can't remain sustainable if this goes on far too long
And all I'm trying to say is think about it, grow some balls
Put down your hardened stance to do something good for us all
By telling this core of profiteers for once they can all fuck right off
And let's just vote for a democratic republic once in our life
Are we that afraid of giving power to the people amid all this strife
Or is it that we just want to die as soon as those old bastards do?
All this time I just assumed we all wanted our lives to last longer
So that you and I can rock on for many more years together
With our families and our friends, not to mention sons and daughters
What is it we don't get about our being led right to the slaughter
By a bunch of greedy murderers planning to use us for their fodder
In future wars they're still engineering while we sit here just sneering
At each other playing video games in training for our kids to hit the front lines
For their perpetual "war on terror" they're orchestrating before our eyes
Or do you maybe think our little ones might prefer to just grow up
Than to be buried in a ditch across the ocean before sunup
Look...if we can't begin to see past the limits of our own stolid mind
Then I guess the Corporate Whores have captured all our kind
'Til they become our Pimps and we their clueless bitches so that soon enough we'll find
What I'm saying here ain't even sarcastic it's dead on the money honey
Between government and religion while you sit there feeling fine
All the while without a clue how they're using you to help undermine
The true glory and power of this country while you whine
About people with brown skin and queers and immigrants
What's it really matter to you anyhow holed up behind your fence

'Til they become our Pimps and we their clueless bitches so that soon enough we'll find
What I'm saying here ain't even sarcastic it's dead on the money honey
And I've thought about it enough to fill my own cup
So keep on staring at the Sun until you all go blind
And wave away the relentless persecution of which we're all the victims
Aiding and abetting the most forceful and corrupt cabal of thieves
Ever put together under one administration beneath the eaves
Of our very own houses and you can't even smell it
Without a chance of understanding even as I tell it
Like it is--right to your face--it's just business as usual
And that ain't fresh it's rotten and not one bit constitutional
For twenty-twenty and beyond, why bend over and take it four more years
I called it, bitch--in twenty-nineteen--in front of you right now, right here
So let's DO something for once and go out and VOTE, tell everyone you know
"This time it's different, your kids depend on you, we may die soon
But they're supposed to have a future--or will we just sit back
After they must get sutures when their faces get cracked by the angry fist
Of a mob-rules corporate mentality prone to defile them first then kiss
Their pretty little faces (and that ain't corpse paint--that shit's real)
Then bury them in a ditch and piss on their unmarked grave
And deep inside you know it's true too so how you going to save face
Now while we're all slowly sliding toward Their imperial rule?
I'll tell you how: go out and vote next year, it takes no time flat
Just tell your buddies it's "counter-intuitive," how about that?
The war between the people (that's you and me if it isn't crystal clear)
And the callous empire of incorporated profiteers isn't "drawing near"
It's HERE RIGHT NOW this damn minute and if you don't write your senator
To tell them how you feel about protecting the rights of your own daughter
Then the cheating gangsters who gain control of the oval office will make her disappear
Along with all our sons no matter what the cost--they'll be able to pay for it
As the divide between us all grows wider and the super rich win while we lost it all
Not just our dreams and aspirations but everything else in between with our lives
That seems like what we're creating whether we vote for them or even if we refrain
And despite democracy, they've got you and me between a rock and a hard place
Depending on one thing, which is: they know damn well we won't go to the polls
And be bothered to vote because they now rely on us thinking it's all a waste of time
So why bother, am I right? Well the reason to vote is to protect us all together
Even my son and your daughter throughout all this tormented weather
And if that's not justification enough then go ahead, and just Bow Out
Despite knowing the non-voting contingency is what our would-be master's all about
So don't you ever remotely hint that Colin Kaepernick's not a real Hero
Because it's y'all voting for Trump and the Republicans right now who are the Zero
In this equation (mark my words) it's y'all who are about to get down on one knee
Before the Imperial King of your very own design, quite unwittingly it seems so
How's that for ironic? (and I ask this with love)
Will we do something together about it, before push comes to shove?
So keep on staring at the Sun until you all go blind
