I fight the power
Cuz the bankers took the Towers
So my kids can see the flowers
Without waiting in line for hours
I stand up in the shower,
Enjoying the clean water
While my mind dwells on the wino still needing a quarter.
For immigrants crossing the border
Seeking a better life
Cuz our corporations cut their country's guts out like a knife
While our politicians use their pain to sow increasing strife
And what really makes it trife,
Is they'll never make it right.
I fight the power cuz it keeps me up at night:
Police sirens blaring with their red and blue party lights
They flex capitalist might
Placing money above everything
So Enron gets a summons
But there's cells for every gang
Not to mention lobbyists ensuring things will never change,
Legalized bribery,
But for them its pocket change.
If money makes the world go round
I wish it'd stop
Like bullets in a glock
That jams in the hands of cops,
Or like this Dream Deferred for so long that it pops,
Filled with crack rocks and tear drops and decrepit ghetto blocks.
I fight the power cuz things are wrong the way they are
And instead of World War 3 I want humans on Mars.
