Lyrics

We can weigh all our ambition
On a dead man’s sleeve
And for all the tea in China
Would we trade our greed
Ah would we trade our greed
I’ve seen the way to happiness
I’ve seen the way to pain
We’ve watched our parents lose the race
And we’re losing it again
We’re losing it again
 
So let us love our neighbors
Protect the land
Look our brother in the eye
When we shake his hand
It’s been this way a long time
It’s hard to understand
The time has come for everyone
We the people, fuck the man
(Yeah)
 
Yes it’s been this way a long time
Conquer and divide
And go to sleep with ease at night with God on our side
With God on our side
Now we’ve even lost connection
To the air we breathe
Anxiety and depression are in the blood we bleed
In the blood we bleed
 
So let us love our neighbors
Protect the land
Look our sister in the eye
When we shake her hand
It’s been this way a long time
It’s written in their plan
The time has come for everyone
We the people, fuck the man
(Yeah)
 
Let us not follow the leader
The leader’s compromised
And big politics are theatre
Built to break our spine
Built to break our spine
The people have the power
And power to us all
If we finally get together
We can rise before we fall
Rise before we fall
 
So let us love our neighbors
Protect the land
Look each other in the eye
When we shake each other’s hand
It’s been this way a long time
So read every book they ban
The time has come for everyone
We the people, fuck the man
The time has come for everyone
We the people, fuck the man
