Powertrip

Power, it’s all about power on this mother fuckin’ power trip
You slip, they dip their wicks in the candles of success
and express their deepest sympathies to you at your expense.
Who loses?
You’re lost like the nation’s morale
Once again you fail
Your mindset you forget like a pet with every waking breath
All your hidden agendas smothering your conscience to the point of death
They stow away guilt like the gift of forgiveness
‘Cause pockets with cross-fingered hands reach the deepest
As sure as a gun needs a punk with a bullet
Repetition is set like a trigger waiting for youth to pull it
And you wonder why this country’s corrupt
And you wonder why this country’s corrupt
And you wonder why this country’s corrupt
And you wonder why
Money, image, title & power are served up on a plate
for your kids to devour just like a meal they steal, they deal
It all feels so fucking real ‘cause they’re never gonna kneel to authority
You question the laws when the cause is just you & me
Sitting glued helpless as they’re watching the TV
Force fed hype that they’re all believing
They’re watching their parents living honestly making shit
And they want to grow up to be just the opposite
Let me tell you why the children rebel
Let me tell you why the children rebel
Let me tell you why the children rebel
Let me tell you why your children all will still rebel
Ah yeah
They stow away guilt like the gift of forgiveness
‘Cause pockets with cross-fingered hands run the deepest
With greed as the seed you can cultivate hate
They’re doing what they’re seeing until it’s too late
Trunk to tail, yeah
March into the grave like a circus parade trunk to tail
March into the grave like a circus parade trunk to tail
Oh, march into the grave like a circus parade trunk to tail
Trunk to tail
An elephant never forgets
An elephant never forgets
