I write to you today with hope that somehow you will see
the lies they spread before our eyes we can not just let be
we must rise up, we must fight back, we mustn’t let them win
they use us for their building blocks yes time and time again
the 1% are rich and strong and own everything in sight
they write the laws, own the police and tell us wrong is right
using corporate media they spread their lies as truth
and lock away the whistle blowers without a drop of proof
they turn the masses into sheep and make them all believe
that they are not just slaves but sheep are easy to deceive
we must rise up, we must fight back, we mustn’t let them win
the 99% must stand to take the streets again
