Trapped in a world you didn’t create
Bound up by chains you can never break
What did you do to deserve such a fate
Well, you were born…
Welcome to the world as it is
Just ask big brother, what’s mine is his
Don’t try and change it, Think you’ll rearrange it
Get on your knees and you might just make it
With time served justice is farce
The smallest spark the fire burns hot
Guillotine blade falls on the mark
But what it is now is what it was then
But we couldn’t believe we wouldn’t stand still
So now what its become runs the fast lane to hell
[ (this was crossed out in the original)
Here and now money’s no problem
conglomerate rules and no way to stop them
lay down your number and you’ll have what you wanted
try to cry for mercy sob and beg and plead
but what once was controversy
is all the proof you need
]
(lyrics) circa early-1990s
