Lyrics:

Did you know that you live in a racist society?
Did you know you're the privileged class?
And everybody else is essentially taking it up the ass

Did you know that you could be free?
Did you know that's not the way it has to be?
Did you know you can still change everything?

Did you know that there's no such thing as equality?
And there might never be if you don't change

Did you know that you live in a warzone culturally?
Did you know that your parents were fucked?
When they taught you how to fear anybody
Who wasn't white enough

Did you know that you could be free?
Did you know that's not the way it has to be?
Did you know you can still change everything?

Did you know that the older you get
It gets easier to blame somebody else for your own mess?
Did you know that the jews don't run the world
And all black men aren't criminals?

Did you know there's a lot of money to be made?
From keeping you paranoid, suspicious, worried,
Frightened, all wound up and tense inside

'Cause big business runs the government
And it's not good business
If we burn down the government

So they keep us occupied with moron tv shows
And shitty beer that wipes out brain cells
And whining about congress and stupid fucking income taxes

And if that's not enough to keep your mind off
Of the way you're getting dicked around

They fill you with fear and hate,
Give you someone to blame for all your problems
Why's the country going down the fucking toilet?

Do you know what they think of you?
Do you know how contemptuous they are of you?
Do you know how easy you are to fool?

You're like a dog going after a ball that was never throw
Well guess what you're on your own, good luck
