• me and myself just toiling away
    not noticing a difference between night and day
    my hands are rough my arms are weak
    my mouth is so dry it's hard for me to speak
    wake up get dressed it's the same routine
    so many days i forgot what it means
    break loose
    break out
    go on and shout
    stop holding it in
    and start believing you can win
    another day another dollar
    but it's gonna be taken away
    why should i bother
    the propaganda is spoken on and on
    it speaks out and we keep toiling on
    there are no taskmasters
    just a bunch people who would blast us to smithereens
    if we put one foot out of step
    but no we aren’t working for some thing we don’t understand
    this is not what we had planned
    let’s go back to zero
    back to the beginning
    before the politics corrupted the populace
    before we had to lock our doors
    be afraid of the wars taking place out the window
    no
    this not what we planned
    stand up step out of line
    become the beat that is out of time with the rest
    a syllable that’s more stressed than the rest
    knock down the towers that control the power
    or else it will devour you alive
    stand up shout let it out
    you have a reason for speaking
    you knees aren’t weakening you are not afraid
    nothing can stop you since you got un-caged
    speak up right now you can’t be heard
    but soon enough people will have memorized the words
    of your fight, so open up let it out
    tell all the people what your yelling about.
