Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The wicked witch is in my veins
The oligarchs are in my brain
I bit the apple, who's to blame?
They got me locked up in a cage
[PreChorus]
I'm sick of all of the wealth turning earth to hell
I'm sick of drinking the water when they poisoned the well
Hail to the thief, I've got a new plan
To sell it all to the working man, but
[Chorus]
I won't fall in the quicksand
I won't fall in the quicksand
I won't fall in the quicksand
Boy, they cast a spell on you
[Verse 2]
Pledge allegiance, close your eyes
They sell you God to monetize
Fear's the product, hate's the brand
Defund the schools and take the land
[PreChorus]
I'm sick of making profits from bleeding guns
I'm sick of being a pawn on a billionaire's tongue
The land of truth's all built on sand
American dream, buried in their hands, yeah
[Chorus]
I won't fall in the quicksand
I won't fall in the quicksand
I won't fall in the quicksand
Boy, they cast a spell on you
[Outro]
They cut the lights and changed the rules
They burn the books and taught the fools
They're doing Zeig Heils in the schools
The system's fucked, and I was too
But now I'm going to do what I think I gotta do
