"Racist Society" lyrics

"Racist Society"

Did you know that you live in a racist society?
Did you know you're the privileged class
And everybody else is essentially takin' it up the ass?

Did you know that you could be free?
Did you know that's not the way that it has to be?
Did you know you can still change everything?

Did you know that there's no such thing as equality
And there might never be
If you don't change?

Did you know that you live in a war zone, culturally?
Did you know that your parents were fucked
When they taught you how to fear anybody who wasn't white enough?

Did you know that you could be free?
Did you know that's not the way that it has to be?
Did you know you can still change everything?

Did you know that the older you get
It gets easier to blame somebody else for your own mess?
Did you know that the Jews don't run the world
And all black men aren't criminals?
Did you know there's a lot of money to be made
From keeping you paranoid, suspicious, worried, frightened
All wound up and tense inside?

'Cause big business runs the government
And it's not good business
If we burn down the government
So they keep us occupied
With moron TV shows
And shitty beer that wipes out brain cells
And whining about congress
And stupid fucking income taxes
And if that's not enough to keep your mind off of
The way you're getting dicked around
They fill you with fear and hate
Give you someone to blame for all your problems
Why's the country going down the fuckin' toilet?

Do you know what they think of you?
Do you know how contemptuous they are of you?
Do you know how easy you are to fool?
You're like a dog going after a ball that was never thrown
Well, guess what, you're on your own
Good luck
