the lucky few

sprouted from a racist seed, the white men stole the land they need

to renovate a state of hate of greed, and call it something great

so every fall they give you thanx, for genocide of natives by the ranks

now you can find fast food in everytown, McDonalds, Wendy's, Taco Bell

and as free trade kills domestic jobs, they blame minorities for all their probs

they lock 'em up for their enjoyment, say they're the cause of unemployment

although they say that we're all free, it never felt that way to me

as you sit back and watch us die, i cant help but asking "why?"

crooked cops on every block, and racist courts to lock you up

a judicial system so corrupt, if yer not white you are a criminal

educated by the biased man, the kids to dumb to take a stand

faith in dreams that always die, but nightmares hold the upper hand

it snowballs into worthless pawns, multiplying, buying. on and on

slaving for that weekly wage, but in the end guess who gets paid?

although they say that we're all free, it never felt that way to me

as you sit back and watch us die, i can't help asking, "why?"
