Strike Lyrics
the division of society into two separate classes
there are those of us who work and we make up the masses
slaving for the corporations raking in the profit
someones got to take a stand, someones got to stop it
organize discontent and strike against the system
that oppresses you and depreciates the value of your work
realize what is meant, cuz you dont really need them
underestimate the power of people who have been hurt
unite and you will find that strength is truly found in numbers
and you possess the power to destroy those that you work under
their machine wont operate unless it has an operator
were unknowingly convicted to a life of hard labor
they dont care about you, your best interests arent in mind
theyre concerned with capital and broadening class lines
broken by the bastards that regulate your wages
porverty is our crime and employment is our cage
its 1998 and the time has come to order
the rich are getting richer
while the poor are getting poorer
economic warfare, but the ones who did this
turn the tables on them, its survival of the fittest
were gonna pull the red carpet out from under their feet
were gonna pull the red carpet out from under their feet
were gonna pull the red carpet out from under their feet
were gonna pull the red carpet out from under their feet!
strike!
