born with these opinions we've chosen to ignore
things once worth fighting for mean nothing anymore
the best laid plans the complicated schemes
marginalization of a people's hopes and dreams
the common man never had a choice
too pushed aside to use our voice
does our pride still run so deep
that we don't mind being put to sleep
the opulent look down with madisonian disdain
at the t**ilated insects too complacent to complain
with pavlovian precision doing just what we are told
too entertained to realize the extent of their control
the common man never had a choice
too pushed aside to use our voice
does our pride still run so deep
that we don't mind being put to sleep
ignore your dubious pretense of freedom
in a different way oppression masked by false consent
over one hundred fifty million without a thing to say
without a thing to say.
