I'm seeing clear for the first time I've watched a couple decades pass on by We are born to breed the grand illusion Through the oligarchy's eyes With all of the war and all of the greed And all the toxic hate it feeds And for what? So a handful of rich white men can succeed Don't bring it down on me Some are awake, others still sleeping Through this paradigm of violence, blood, and lies We decimate the earth for shareholders While she slowly wilts and dies They're pushing the drugs and they monger the fear The police state is already here So for now I pledge allegiance To the hippies, punks, geeks, and queers Don't bring it down on me I'm taking a stand for peace
