lyrics

Back and forth, around the sun again
Four more years, stuck in a delusion
Pick a team, win another race
We all lose, no winners in this game

They lie, they cheat, out for themselves
Fighting over who gets to take
and steal, from me and you
Bite the hand that bleeds you

The illusion of choice is how they oppress
We're collateral damage in our own conquest

They pit us against each other, neighbor verse neighbor
Distract us with division, they are the circus

How much more, can we fucking take
Every day, until we fucking break
It's the same, either fucking way
Left or right, misery remains

They lie, they cheat, and take from us
everything that we work for
They fight for the lion's share
There's a price on our heads

The illusion of choice is how they oppress
We're collateral damage in our own conquest

They pit us against each other, neighbor verse neighbor
Distract us with division, they are the circus

Rob a bank, redistribute into our hands
Take it back, a world of stolen land
Bring it down, every last prison
Dismantle our racist institutions
Molotovs burn down wall street

There has to be something more than this
beyond control of the capitalist
There has to be something more than
This, is no way to survive, fighting every day for our lives
The tables will fucking turn, when this republic burns

Back and forth, around the sun again
Another year, another delusion
Sit back and look the other way
while they continue to tighten our restraints

They lie, they cheat, they're living by
a different set of fucking rules
Like vultures they fight for the scraps
Picking meat off our bones

The illusion of choice is how they oppress
We're collateral damage in our own conquest

They pit us against each other, neighbor verse neighbor
Distract us with division, they are the circus

Nothing stops, nothing ends, nothing breaks if we sit by
Living this, endless loop, every day, another boot
Nothing stops, nothing ends, nothing breaks if we sit by
