Most these words will fly right by the people who don’t read, yo
The ones who do have understood them since their early teens, so
Don’t criticize just recognize I say the words I mean
I’ve been through hell so let me tell you all the things I’ve seen
Society, it’s all a farce
They say it’s light, but it’s so dark
All these rules for all these fools who don’t know what our real rights are
Close the door, keep out the poor
Let’s draft some laws in cocktail bars
They won’t know, they’ll watch our show
Hey! Hands off of my Lincoln car
I don’t think I remember when I signed my name in ink, yo
To give away the freedom to wear black or white or pink, though
I’m confused, are we used? Or does our voice mean anything
Or is it more a closet door that they can hide agendas in
Take advantage, use the youth
Tell ‘em we’ll give everything
No concern for how it’s earned
Just sign right here and wear this ring
Encrusted in its all you’ll need
We’ll rid the world of hate and greed
Don’t ask me where this food comes from
Just thank me because it’s all free
I think I’m done with people who
Have hands held out with naught to do
I think I’m done with everyone who wants things but won’t pay into
Victim? Please. My granddad saw things you don’t get
He almost got his heart pierced through a soldier’s fucking bayonet
Tell me more how all the poor have no means of surviving now
Or maybe take a his’try lesson and learn one word: that words “how”
How’s the world worked? You tell me. Take your time, I’ll still be here
Waiting for your studious self to go read and reappear
Human nature, listen up. Reality, it’s got you fenced
The tears you cry will never fill the oceans that you’re up against
That’s it it’s over now I’m done, I’ve said the things I needed to
So let me end by saying, friend, I’m sorry I offended you
How the World Should Work
