A fistful of quarters in my hand
Perhaps it's enough to make a demand
No I can't even make a stand
It'll earn me a reprimand

When the kitty is full
The penalty is you

So what to do?
Die because they tell you to

When the eyes of people are blind
Justice is a rare find
We're not all too kind
When we deny the mind

So the truth is a lie
And the lie is true

What do you expect to do?
Cry because they expect you to?

Do you fight or do you die?
Do you run or do you try?
What does it matter why?
Don't believe the lie

Fate isn't what you see
It's just an illusion

If you run where will you go?
It won't take long for more to show
Governments they seem to overthrow
What's left is the line to tow

I refuse to give in
I can't let them win

So I'll end up in a camp
Making dreams out of a stamp
Rending hope out of the lamp
Trying to find my way up the ramp

Do or die they say
Guess that's just my way
Gotta love it when your government decides that the will of the People means nothing against the All Mighty Dollar *eye roll*
