it started of the people, by the people, for the people
to run by corporate greed and now they can’t afford the people
still most don’t give a f@&k like they never even heard
about the TPP or the Federal Reserve
Uncle Sam pulled the wool but I see what you giving me
I know the difference between freedom and liberty
while the campaign sticker reads “Nobody for President”
f@&k your citizenship bitch I’ll be a resident
while you follow the rules, it’s more than just fossil fuels
land of the free and home of the cruel
refuse to be fooled, still a victim of the trickery
fast food full of fear the villain is a mystery
and that’s the shit you see cause they know where to find ya switch it up now and the just to remind ya
so they can cash in that check
after they’re done loving us show us a little respect

(chorus) of the people, by the people, for the people, all the people

(verse 2) they said it’s of the people and it’s for the people
but they f@%k the people and they ignore the people
convinced that those people are better than you people?
every 4 years you get the lesser of 2 evils
single file line for that voting booth
represent, pick the one the television told you to
it’s a broken system, keep rolling with it
participate, close schools open prisons
go parole? I’ll tell you never in your life
pitch the catcher in the rye pray it get better when you die
cynical, silly kids can”t be serious
saying that they’re free when they don’t know what freedom really is
freedom is ugly, freedom is beautiful
but with these people freedom’s unusual
learn the laws you live, the words it’s written in
you ain’t been free since you got that birth certificate
you wanna drive a car? “i’m gonna need to see a license for that”
you wanna go fishing? “i’m gonna need to see a license for that”
you wanna get married? “i’m gonna need to see a license for that” but you fail to realize, that license’s a trap
so when the police come you got the right to be nervous
you ain’t free, it says it right on your permit
you bought it all and it’s supposed to be free
it’s hard to break loose from those chains you cant see
