lyrics

We’re finding out that the things we have are not really ours to keep
Brainwashed to forget that we could lose everything while we're asleep
When your paycheck dries up, your payments get higher
Stocking up for the flood, there’s no time or resources left to prepare for the fire

Did we get complacent and wait too long to demand more?
We hibernated inside of the structures they built
And now we demand that we not be ignored

And all we can do is sit back and watch them collapse
I hope I’ve got enough in the bank to last
'Til they start tracking us down again

I turn on the press conference
Maybe they’re planning some kind of relief
They just parade out politicians and TV personalities
Who cosplay as physicians and stare straight ahead and lie through their teeth
They address corporations and disregard the terrified families

Did we get complacent and wait too long to demand more?
We fell asleep and they moved our beds to the streets
And took back everything that we worked for

And all we can do is sit back and hope they collapse
If they don’t, they’ll go back to treating us like rats
And expect us to pay for their sins

All we can do is sit back and watch them collapse
From their nervous breakdowns and heart attacks
Their racist and classist belief system will die with them
