Class Time Lyrics
You’re never happy, never happy with me
Forever at me, why can’t you just let me be?
Wherever I be, you are there watching me (creepy)
Whether in person or remotely
You tax the shit out of my income, my sales, and my property
Wage slavery is the true price of freedom apparently
If the powers that be were indeed elected democratically
Why do the ultra wealthy get treated differently than you and me so consistently?
Surprise! I’ll tell you why
It’s lies, lies, lies, lie after lie after lie
Polarize, terrorize, dehumanize the masses
Prioritize only the corporatized donor classes
You’re never happy, never happy at all
I can disagree but you still get to make every call
Don’t have to face me, ain’t gonna be no town hall
Not one aspiring escapee has made it over the wall
You were never meant to get so big, you’ve grown too tall
You are in for a real surprise if you think you’re too big to fall
Had you stayed small maybe there’d be no writing on the wall
But all you’ve done is turn this land of wonder into one big shopping mall
Surprise! Open those eyes
It’s lies, lies, lies on top of lies on top of lies
Colonize, centralize, commercialize the land
Analyze, advertise, watch the cash fly out your hand
Just like they planned
Surprise! When you gonna realize
It’s all just systemized lies, lies, lies, lies
Privatize, monetize, automatize everything
Not allowed to criticize, vocalize a fucking thing
Surprise! Try not to internalize
The lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies
Recognize, organize, mobilize fast
Take a stance, take a chance
Before it’s passed
Your first might be your last
