Lyrics
Yo, in the corridors of power, the shadows are deep Faces lie, while the honest hearts weep Seeing justice sold to the highest bidder Truth gets cold, and the lies get bigger Fat cats in suits, with their pockets lined Silver tongues twisting laws, justice blind Promises made with fingers crossed behind Selling out the people, while they preach and remind Democracy's auctioned to the elite, refined Wake up to the game, before we all get declined 'Cross the nation, see the tension, hardly mild Politicians servin' riches, greed compiled In the halls of injustice, they defile Backdoor deals, hypocrisy has been styled In the chamber's seat, where the truth is on trial Laws for the few, while the masses they beguile Liberty's facade when the verdict's been reviled Power to the corrupt, in the viper's nest, they smile If you wielding the gavel, you best reconcile With the voices you silence, the freedoms you exile Climbing up the ladder, games political thrive Whispers in the shadows, where the back stabs are rife Democracy's a mask for the power-hungry drive Where the people's voice fades, in this hustle they contrive Snakes slither in the grass of the Senate's old floor Where lobbyists' whispers become the law's core Truth's a casualty in this war of deceit As they splice and amend, till justice retreats In this concrete jungle, where the currency's power Watch the scales of fairness every minute devoured Now the media spins a web of deceit so tight Fabricating tails till they're out of sight Voices gettin' choked, the narratives they design Manipulate the facts till they fall in line [Verse 2] Broadcasting illusions, reality's lost Censoring speech no matter the cost Middle East winds, blowing hard through hill and dale Shifting the sands of policy, as agendas prevail Tiny state, grand impact, in the power they yield Lobbyists in D.C., on a far-off field Farther still to East Europe, where turmoil's been keen Aided forces clashing, in a land caught between Overseas, our dollars flow like blood in the sand Armies dispatched on command, part of a scheme so grand Tax at home surging, paychecks to dust Inflation's bite turns middle-class dreams to rust Bombs over there, while here the cupboards grow bare Folks at home stretchin' dimes, it's a lopsided affair Public's purse is bleeding for wars without end Power players play, while they break not bend [Chorus] But it's all by design, the grand charade They tighten our belts while war profits are made Cracks in the bell, liberty's tolling unseen A dream once bold, now a scheme so serene Leaders in shadows erode the great creed Freedoms once cherished, now just a slow bleed Papers and rights, all fraying at edge In the name of security, a liberty wedge Yet the heart of America, ain't fully decayed Rise up from slumber, let our voices parade Spread the word, share the truth, come what may Only the fearless can break this dark shade Awake the spirit that heralds the dawn United we stand, or divided we're pawns
