Project Hayseed - Oh Say Can U C? Lyrics

Eyes closed
Minds closed
Oh say can't you see
You've been bought
You've been taught
Just follow the lead
Work has become a four letter word
Punished when you succeed
Evil is the the man who
Has earned more than he needs

Oh say can you see
What it takes to be free
Not the rules by fools
Who need you to be
Helpless and small
Divided and fall
With your hand out begging please
Oh say can you see

They say
They're here to help you
Oh say can you see
There was a time when
Being a good man
Was all we cared to be
Just get in line
And you can have everything
Some people don't even try
The only thing
That the takers need
Is for the ink to dry

Oh say can you see
What it takes to be free
Not the rules by fools
Who need you to be
Helpless and small
Divided by it all
Get up off your knees
Oh say can you see
