Driving home from work, talk radio on the line
Know I ought to turn it off but always change my mind
They say they care about our problems but like hell they sweat over mine
We live in a world where they control our actions but they can't control our minds
Another nighttime story, another man shot dead
They say control's the answer but they couldn't as he bled
Another shocker, it was some kid's father, one he'll never know
If it only saves one life they said, I guess it goes to show
Kick it!
And I'm radically sick of this useless hypocrisy
It's time for a change, gonna shake up democracy
The people don't know what the leaders don't feed
The brainwashed masses as they flock to the seed
Never thought I'd find myself this deep in the quicksand
My only regret is that I wish I'd listened
To the people who screamed and the people who yelled
As they tried to save us from this horrible hell
It takes time, it takes money
They've taken everything I've got
It's a shame, ooh it's a killer
But it's got you by the balls so won't you give it a shot
They nailed my hands up onto a tree branch
They tried to take my soul for pay
But as they wrapped that noose around me
I whipped out a pistol and fired away
Taking prisoners can't be a crime
You find yourself prisoner to someone's design
The guard was once your friend but now he's stolen the show
This rancid trust in man has held but now it's gonna blow
It takes pain, it takes hardship
It stalks you as you walk through the night
No one else, no great savior
Is gonna help you as you enter the fight
