November's Lie

democracy is handed to us as power

against us by power of us

democracy

long live the mighty corporation

we serve until the end

democracy

long live the mighty corporation

it's corruption well defend

we seek to pacify

so the wealthy can endure

we pray for the trickle down

so we can feed the poor

we elect impotent men

with views to represent

they turn their backs and run

to avoid corporate dissent

you've got your carrot on a string

and I'll do most anything

you got your fingers on us all

but your hands can't grasp us all

I'm not just fuel for your machine

I breathe

I feel

I think

I dream

I won't pledge my allegiance to this
