Lyrics
[Chorus]
Kill the tyrant in your head
Kill the tyrant in your bed
Kill the tyrant, don't be led
Kill the tyrant, they want you dead
[Verse 1]
Fight amongst ourselves
Distract us from what's going on
Eyes glued to the screen
So we don't see a thing
[Chorus]
Kill the tyrant in your head
Kill the tyrant in your bed
Kill the tyrant, don't be led
Kill the tyrant, they want you dead
[Verse 2]
Record profits, record deaths
Nothing matters when you're ahead
Who spends money when they're dead?
I think I want out, the world is spent
[Refrain]
I need this, I need that
Money controls me, and the government owns me
I need this, I need that
Money controls me, and the government owns me
I need this, I need that
Money controls me, and the government owns me
I need this, I need that
Money controls me, and the government owes me
[Bridge]
Kill the tyrant that lives in your head
Have you heard that freedom is dead?
Systems seek to destroy us
Forced into war, they deploy us
Never back down when forced to the wall
If divided we stand, then together we fall
[Outro]
I need this, I need that
Money controls me, and the government owns me
I need this, I need that
Money controls me, and the government owes me
