Dominant Paradigm

It seems like back in the days you used to be more simple

You had your right you had your wrong and nothing in the middle

Riding on a horse through the desert with a gun

The bad guys get hung and the good guys always won

And when the gang rolled into town

Some dude dressed in white would always shut them down

They said the future had no limit

If you had guts and a gun and an idea you could win it

And I wonder if that shit was true

Cause here in twenty-zero-one u know shit is pretty screwed

I called struggling in this economy

The lone rangers broke trucking on social security

Conspiracy to steel your souls

Create walking billboards for corporate logo's

Another zombie at the shop in megaplex

They keep lowering the bar in the name of progress

So if u wanna fire from a starbucks (It's Alright by me! )

And if you wanna shoplift at Wallmart (It's Alright by me! )

And if you wanna vender lives at McDonalds (It's Alright by me! )

Take a baseball bat to that corporate clan o donnel (It's Alright by me! )

If you wanna set their wall on fire (It's Allright by me! )

Judge the judges and send them to the firing line (It's Alright by me! )

Cause it's those motherfuckers that should be doing time (It's Alright by me! )

Not supposed out smoking weed at the... of the dominant paradigm (It's Alright by me! )

And I said woowoow shit is getting rough

Remember when the cops used to be looking out for us

Officer O'Mally helping granny cross the street

Giving candy to the kids

Keeping killers off the street

Now we signed a deal with the Highway Patrol

Give em lip, you end up on national tv yooo

You got the right to remain silent

But that's just how they like it

Nice and compliant

So I'd rather scream instead

I'd rather go out loud then a sheep being led to the slaughter

I'm saying fuck law and order

Fuck work, Fuck taxes, Fuck National Borders

Fuck work, Fuck taxes, Fuck National Borders

Fuck work, Fuck taxes, Fuck National Borders

Well they just made that shit up to protect the status quo

And if ya slip up then they can fuck ya

So if you wanna smash a cab in (It's Alright by me! )

Kick the ground notorious lights in (It's Alright by me! )

And if you wanna punch a maggot's straight face in (It's Alright by me! )

Make em look stupid in front of all other conflicts (It's Alright by me! )

If you wanna set the court on fire (It's Alright by me! )

Judge the judges and send them to the firing line (It's Alright by me! )

Cause it's those motherfuckers that should be doing time (It's Alright by me! )

Not supposed out smoking weed at the... of the dominant paradigm (It's Alright by me! )

It's Alright by me!

It's Alright by me!

It's Alright by me!

It's Alright by me!
