Screeching Weasel - Racist Society lyrics
Did you know that you live in a racist society?
Did you know you're the privileged class,
and everybody else is essentially taking it up the ass?
Did you know that you could be free?
Did you know it's not the way that it has to be?
Did you know you can still change everything?
Did you know that there's no such thing as equality,
and there might never be if you don't change?
Did you know that you live in a war zone culturally?
Did you know that your parents were fucked
when they taught you how to fear anybody who wasn't white enough?
Did you know that you could be free?
Did you know it's not the way that it has to be?
Did you know you can still change everything?
Did you know that the older you get
it gets easier to blame somebody else for your own mess?
Did you know that the Jews don't run the world,
and all black men aren't criminals?
Did you know there's a lot of money to be made
from keeping you paranoid, suspicious, worried, frightened
all wound up and tense inside, 'causeScreeching Weasel - Racist Society - http://motolyrics.com/screeching-weasel/racist-society-lyrics.html
Big business runs the government,
and it's not good business
if we burn down the government.
So they keep us occupied with moron TV shows,
and shitty beer that wipes out brain cells,
and whining about Congress
and stupid fucking income taxes.
(Ah...)
And if that's not enough
to keep your mind off of
the way you're getting dicked around,
they fill you with fear and hate,
give you someone to blame
for all your problems.
Why's the country going
down the fucking toilet?
Do you know what they think of you?
Do you know how contemptuous they are of you?
Do you know how easy you are to fool?
You're like a dog going after a ball that was never thrown.
Well guess what? You're on your own.
Good luck.
