Bring It Down

I'm seeing clear for the first time

I've watched a couple decades pass on by

We are born to breed the grand illusion

Through the oligarchy's eyes

With all of the war and all of the greed

And all the toxic hate it feeds

And for what?

So a handful of rich white men can succeed

Don't bring it down on me

Some are awake, others still sleeping

Through this paradigm of violence, blood, and lies

We decimate the earth for shareholders

While she slowly wilts and dies

They're pushing the drugs and they monger the fear

The police state is already here

So for now I pledge allegiance

To the hippies, punks, geeks, and queers

Don't bring it down on me

I'm taking a stand for peace
