[Verse]
Fingers in the cookie jar, crumbs on the floor,
They stealing from the kitchen, still asking for more.
Promises like smoke, vanish in the air,
They ride golden chariots while we fight despair.
Empty suits, empty hearts, empty minds they boast,
Feasting on the future, we become the ghost.
The people scream, but they cover their ears,
The clock's ticking louder, counting our fears.
[Prechorus]
How much longer till the fire sparks?
How much longer till we light the dark?
[Chorus]
We the people stand, fists in the sky,
Tired of the vultures feeding us lies.
This is our house, it ain't for sale,
Time to fire 'em all, let justice prevail.
[Verse 2]
Ballots turn to bullets when trust is gone,
They dance on our backs, to their victory songs.
Gold pens sign laws, that crush our spine,
But their champagne toasts can't erase the line.
The line we draw, a wall we build,
Truth's the weapon, the ink’s been spilled.
From the dirt we rise, stronger than steel,
Our rage is the hammer, the anvil, the wheel.
