Lyrics

Life is gray and black and Im tired of being held back
Where just trying to survive
Their just taking it, taking all of it, Tell there nothing left to hide

Chorus
Were just trying to survive
Theres no taking our pride

Verse
Brain washing all of us, into worshiping us
Its the great you ass of A
Its a great machine, using up everything
In the name of you and I

Chorus

Bridge
Tax our gas,
Tax our food
Tax our streets
Tax our homes
Tax
Is there anything left
Well tax that too
Tax the air we all breath,
You wana breath dont you
Will tax that too.

Verse
Take some more, claim to feed the poor
Theres no need for middle class.
Feed your army so they will all be sorry
Its the only way to keep the cash.

Chorus

Would the founding fathers be happy with us today?
I think they would not.

This is no what they wanted!
Do you feel free?
How about your children?
It doesn't feel like they have a future.
