Since inception the same thing, this is not the invention of a new game

It’s just rephrased, renamed and represented as new shame

It’s got us searching for redemption like Dufrense in Shawshank

While the rich expand their riches politicians spread their lips until their jaws break,

And unhinge, to ingest more than their body weight, like snakes

Slithering through the withering smithereens of the American dream

United we stand is the American theme

Then why do one percent control what the rest of us glean

We front united, but we stand divided

Beneath a flag and media flash of facts that are all one sided

Wall street was corrupt with fat cats so in a last stance we decided to occupy it

We need new management and new math, a new review of the skewed stats

News papers only print what they want you to know

As paper trails run cold into cold cash and colder hearts

This division within the system systematically tearing us apart

While we peacefully assemble in resemblance to a constitution that’s been skewed and diluted

Only the arrogant and ignorant can refute the proof that constitute our illusion

But money talks and cash is illusive in the backlash of a past so abusive

We’ve been beating ourselves, we built this beast and lengthened the leash
