lyrics

When in the course of human events we arrive at a certain circumstance that revolves and evolves until we solve it all or else it kicks us in the pants
Then we must be cunning and we must be deft so this theft won't leave us all bereft. When a choice is foisted on us we must rejoice in it lest the boisterous voices are all who's left.

When we find ourselves at a point in the path between the prologue and the aftermath where we must be sane so the stain on our brains won't remain and will become the past.
We must be precise and we must be exact else the reactionaries will sure react. When they're gaming the frame and blame the same names in a lame parlour game we must see through that.

When we find ourselves hand in hand in a land where the standard's sinking in quicksand and a system's in place to erase fateful dates like the true emancipation of a race of man.
When you find you can't trust institutions whose busts are unjust it's a must to feel disgust. When you face an arraignment cause you made a sane statement on main street it's cause they don't work for us.

Four score and more since the Fords of these shores invented credit scores and made them your lord. When you're living in squalor and holler to the almighty dollar evermore you will be ignored.
When looking around no sound law can be found in your nation, state, or in your town, when people aren't equal with free will then we will do a reboot not a sequel and burn it down.

Replace the system.
