Ain't no room for us in your alternative nation

It seems you've had control for much too long

Your greed and your dishonesty only add to my frustration

Can't you see the powers that be

Don't give a *** about you and me Somebody better say this

'Cause there ain't nobody trying to save us

Just enslave us and leave us

Hanging on a rope that they just gave us

Victim of your mistrust You, your dance, your stupid cash advance

No, I'm not a victim of circumstance

Not gonna leave my life to chance

Rape the harts of us, the artists

You reap the benefits Your pockets, they get fat

While our souls bleed

You're getting away with murder

"Son, you failed to read the fine print"

Label whores like festering sores Keep coming back, they got a deal for you

No it's not just good enough to hate this

'Cause we all know the ones in charge

Are all so shameless

And wasted energy on the hate defeats our purpose Victim of your mistrust

You, you take, our livelihood at stake

And ain't no fake gonna steal my cake

Our spirits much tough to break

Victims of your mistrust Need to stop and read between those lines

Behind that smile the greed still shows in their eyes

That's part of their disguise

Don't believe the lies

The more I learn about your game The less I wish to be involved with you another day

Just where do we fit in

It looks like we'll never win

And with the next big trend

The cycle starts again Don't let them turn you 'round and fall out of trust

You got to take control, don't let them have

They've got to work for us

Don't let them forget

They've got to earn the thrust
