| War and slavery, exploitation
|
| The common basis of a western nation
|
| Official version, a falsified story
|
| The truth lies buried in a shroud of glory
|
| Oppression, ignorance, idiocy rule
|
| Education is more than what’s taught in school
|
| Forced in a mold, held down by threats
|
| Decisions are made over our heads
|
| But there is a way to refuse and resist
|
| We don’t need to be ruled with the iron fist
|
| We are the people, we are strong
|
| Let’s make up our minds and prove 'em wrong
|
| Black man, white man, yellow man
|
| Black man, white man, rip the system
|
| Black man, white man, yellow man
|
| Black man, white man, rip the system
|
| Religion and TV, you’re under the thumb
|
| Made to believe 'cause you’re already numb
|
| Smoke and mirrors, a bitter surprise
|
| The ideals that were crammed down your throat all turned out to be lies
|
| Black man, white man, yellow man
|
| Black man, white man, rip the system
|
| Black man, white man, yellow man
|
| Black man, white man, rip the system
|
| Influential people aren’t serving time
|
| For being involved in organised crime
|
| Stashed away in beautiful mansions
|
| Guess who provides for their generous pensions
|
| But regular folks when they fail to deliver
|
| Get pent-up in jail and sent up the river
|
| Begging the question: what’s the deal?
|
| No peace without justice and that’s for real
|
| But there is a way to refuse and resist
|
| We don’t need to be ruled with the iron fist
|
| We are the people, we are strong
|
| Let’s make up our minds and prove 'em wrong
|
| Black man, white man, yellow man
|
| Black man, white man, rip the system
|
| Black man, white man, yellow man
|
| Black man, white man, rip the system
|
| Rip the system
|
| Rip the system
|
| Rip the system
|
| Rip the system
|
| Not a day goes by without terrible news
|
| Sky is falling, hell breaks loose
|
| It absolutely makes no sense
|
| To do nothing but hope for a turn of events
|
| Black man, white man, yellow man
|
| Black man, white man, rip the system
|
| Black man, white man, yellow man
|
| Black man, white man, rip the system
|
| Rip the system
|
| Rip the system
|
