The system in which we are living
Only works for the rich,
Take a look at the slums and the ghettos
At people trying to exist,
Told they put themselves there
They don’t work and have to many kids,
A sweeping generalisation and a total myth,
Many are born into poverty
Through centuries of exploitation,
It was not that long ago
People were forced to work on rich men’s plantations,
Forced to work up chimneys,
Forced to work down mines,
Working in the mills and worhouses
And this has not all been left behind,
We are still being exploited
Still forced to work for low pay,
We still give up our lives
To make the rich, richer in every way,
Its a totally unfair system
That defines you by your job,
With those at the bottom
As essential as thoughts at the top
But that’s not reflected in any way that truly really matters,
The ones at the bottom always live a life
Built on living off of the scraps.
The system ini don’t work for the many
Its set up to work for the few,
The system was put in place to exploit me and you,
The system was not created to give all an equal share,
The system was formulated to help them exploit you
And strip you bare,
Leave you poor and needy
Holding your hand out,
The system was built by rich people who do not care about, you!
