Your worth measured in dollars and in cents
There ain't no lifeline coming (coming!)
Unless you pay the price (the price!)
Your hope, freedom, your sanity
A product, not a right
These are the days that test your heart and soul
Strap yourself in for the American Fall
Day after day it is a crash and burn
Our nation hijacked by the criminals
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
Your neighbor is your enemy
Your real friends are on that TV
They’re selling lies and self-loathing
Nothing no one should pay to be
The cost of healthcare
Cost of guns
The cost of knowledge
Cost of love
When prison is an industry
Somebody’s getting locked away
Uninvited to the party
They're cold, afraid, and starving
There's got to be more
To the millions that are marching
Than the separation of just a few degrees
Between evil, famine, and the disease
These are the days that test your heart and soul
Strap yourself in for the American Fall
Day after day it is a crash and burn
Our nation hijacked by the criminals
Reject the criminality
That monetizes our humanity
Construct a new reality
Where you're not just a number, you're a name
You'll never have our dignity
Till all you fascists are six feet deep
The game we play is life and death Your worth measured in dollars and in cents There ain't no lifeline coming (coming!) Unless you pay the price (the price!) Your hope, freedom, your sanity A product, not a right These are the days that test your heart and soul Strap yourself in for the American Fall Day after day it is a crash and burn Our nation hijacked by the criminals Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh Your neighbor is your enemy Your real friends are on that TV They’re selling lies and self-loathing Nothing no one should pay to be The cost of healthcare Cost of guns The cost of knowledge Cost of love When prison is an industry Somebody’s getting locked away Uninvited to the party They're cold, afraid, and starving There's got to be more To the millions that are marching Than the separation of just a few degrees Between evil, famine, and the disease These are the days that test your heart and soul Strap yourself in for the American Fall Day after day it is a crash and burn Our nation hijacked by the criminals Reject the criminality That monetizes our humanity Construct a new reality Where you're not just a number, you're a name You'll never have our dignity Till all you fascists are six feet deep Explain Request ×
