Damn the machine the system's corrupted Abusive power is everywhere Our elected officialspass laws to help But who's paying them off And in the endthe people will pay Such a heavy pricefor just being alive And if this country was really free We'd make paper from hemp and let the forest live But corporate americaand billion dollar industries Have so much power Yet they stand to lose Too much fucking money There's nothing we can do...but... Take back all that we've lost At any price that it costs Our freedom was worth fighting for Resistance now or nevermore And what about the cia What the fuck is their real job anyway Starting civil wars in third world countries Importing heroin from the far east Talk about cocaineneither kept away From the youths of today...now There's nothing we can do...but... Take back all that we've lost At any price that it costs Our freedom was worth fighting for Resistance now or nevermore
