lyrics

They work for you
They say they need your vote
But they're all bought and paid for
It's just a fucking joke

They say to keep the faith
And trust in god
But where's that god gonna be
When they choose not to spare the rod

You work for them
They pay by check
Then they crack the whip and tie a
Fucking noose 'round your neck

Profiting off your sweat
They ride you to the bank
And then expect you to be the
One who’ s giving thanks

They want you to blame the poor
Or the Jews or the gays
All the white they sit back and they
Capitalize on the hate

And then day after day
They shove our face in the dirt
And we just take it
Is this what we deserve?

Every day they beat you down
How much can you take?
Dying like a slave
How much can you take?

They're here to serve and protect
Unless you're poor or you're black
Then they just tell you to run
And shoot you in the back

Every day a part of you dies
Drowning in a sea of lies
Every day the machine marches on
Grinding up the worthless pawns

He says he can save you
From all your sins
All he needs is money
And silence from your kids.

Every day they beat you down
How much can you take?
Dying like a slave
How much can you take?
This is no way to live
How much can you take?
Ask yourself
How much can you take?
