From the recording The New Revolution : USA ca. 2020
Stick Together
We live in this country
Year after year
Where society is broken up
Into four tiers
The wealthy live on top
And stay there by spreading lies
They use their money to subjugate,
Control, and misguide
The next two tiers exist divided
Greatly by their race
Mistrust is spread
And ill will often shows its ugly face
The rich pit us against each other,
Try to make us fight
So we we never notice that
They took what’s ours by right
We are in the same boat and
And we aren’t dissimilar
can make them do what’s right
If we just stick together
The wealthy like to propagate
The lie of the American Dream
And surreptitiously suggest
the white race is supreme
The whites are duped into sustaining
This wretched, evil way
Believing that they are best and
Will have great wealth someday
They try to keep minorities down
And make them have to fight
For every last thing that they get
Denying them equal rights
They suffer constant profiling
And endure discrimination
everything they earn, it seems
requires some extra dedication
Meanwhile at the bottom
Are the victims of a scheme
That scheduled them for failure
And robbed them of their dreams
The system is reinforced
with media repetition
Enforced by militarized police
And for profit prisons
They’re scaling back our protest rights
We’re arrested by the police
If we speak up at public meetings
Or protest some industry
They’re scaling back our voting rights
Purging voter lists
Passing restrictive laws
Gerrymandering districts
They used their money to
Create a plutocracy
They want fascism to
Replace democracy
We are in the same boat and
And we are not dissimilar
We can make them do what’s right
If we just stick together
