lyrics

Look in my eyes and tell me you’re alone in this
Scream at the sky, it won’t do you any good, no
I don’t know why we toil like a slave
Why even try if we can’t all unite

I’m not the only one
You are not the bigger gun
This is what I can do
Holding my head high as I can
It’s all I can do ooh ooh ooh

Better comply, another drone will take your place
What’s your price, a better life in the horizon
Pacify, root root root for our home team
Need a war cry, a kick in the ass for the working class
