Corruption runs deep

Sometimes it takes being numb
To really feel
I'm starting to question
What is fake and what is real

They got the truth
But keep the records sealed
They make laws
Until they are repealed
What the hell
Does hypocrisy yield?
Deploying more into the field
Use them as a symbol, a shield
Soldiers stand
While politicians kneeled

Taking money
Behind their back
Bend to corporations
Who pay them stacks
Justice and truth
Are what the system lacks...

I'm full from being fed lies
While somewhere
Someone innocent dies
They are screaming out
No one listening to the cries...

You can't put a price on life
No you can't put a price on life
You can't put a price on life
We gotta end this fucking strife
Corrupted souls just wanna twist the knife

We are drowning
In the "melting pot"
Its starts to boil
The powderkegs too hot
They say its fine
But they lie a lot

I saw the devil
In their fucking eyes
Don't give in
No matter how hard they try
They'll give you money
But they'll leave you high and dry
Ask for change
And they'll just ask why

Not seeing the simple point
Throwing revolutionaries in the joint
Ask questions
Then you'll disappear
Its a wonder
I'm still fucking here
I lost all of my fear
Want to spread the message
For the greater good
Don't get me misunderstood

But you will
