about

Those who have been running the world have been running it into the ground for many years. Now, it's our turn to take over. hopefully, we'll do a much better job at running things.

lyrics

How is it that history has become such a shield?
That to madness rationality must always yield?
Can’t you see the ghostly parade on their march of death?
It’s time for restitution to the ones who are left

Man’s bloody history spans from sea to shining sea
Taking what we wanted for ourselves and posterity
You think a man should have no rights just because he’s black?
Someone’s eyes are different, so intelligence they lack?

We’re takin’ over
We’re takin’ over
You haven’t won
This ain’t over
No, this ain’t over
It’s just begun

 
Keeping women prisoners, denying them their rights
Preventing them from driving or even wearing tights
What makes you want to kill child for ‘family honor’?
When you should be loving, setting praise upon her

Your people want their freedom and to run their own lives
But you see fit to answer them with guns and knives
The times may be a-changin’, better run while you still can
Taking all the people’s money and spending it on the lam

(chorus)

We call ourselves democracy, the land of the free
Who has the right to suppress me economically?
The way to my future lies inside my 401K
But greedy hands have taken what I save for a rainy day

Now we all see just what’s been going on
You may still have the power, but not for very long
The truth is coming out in the new century
Unleashing the power that belongs to you and me

(chorus)
