What do we get

What do we get

Shit is what we get,

Viruses and hunger

As well as fucking death,

What do we get

Shit is what we get,

From those who govern

Did you expect any less,

And a life of subservience

At the very best,

Slaves to the rich and privileged

No more than simply guests,

And our passivity is what allows this

Never any signs of dissent or unrest,

So that is why I say what do we get,

Shit is what we get,

But that’s what we settle for

So I guess we deserve what we get.
