Man made convention breeds accident prevention. 

A garbage man blew his head off; he deals with all our waste. 

Refuse to learn a lesson, keep asking the same question, 

history repeats itself as we wash down the drain. 

Who are we and what have we become? 

A race of ignorance. 

Who are we and what have we become? 

A race of ignorance. 

Convenience bought by the wholesale tons. 

Obedience and peace sought through the barrel of a gun. 

Upkeep the illusion 

first world leaders, 

of equal rights and global harmony. 

Celebrated by spending billions on olympic stadiums 

while just outside there are thousands 

sound asleep upon the streets. 

It's time to stand up, 

it's time to fight back.
