Political songs just make you wanna think and then not do anything about it because YOU ARE POWERLESS!!!
Re-Education (Through Labor) by Rise Against
To the sound of a heart beat pounding away
To the rhythm of the awful rusted machines
We toss and turn by don't sleep
Each breath we take makes us thieves
Like causes without rebels
Just talk but promise nothing else
We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
'Cause sometimes dreams just don't come true
We wait to reap what we are due
To the rhythm of a time bomb ticking away
And the blare of the sirens combing the streets
Chased down like dogs we run from
Your grasp until the sun comes up
We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
'Cause sometimes dreams just don't come true
Look now of what they've done to you-
-Ooooohwoah
White needles buried in the red
The engine roars and then it gives
But never dies
Because we don't live, we survive
On the scraps that you throw away
I won't crawl on my knees for you
I won't believe the lies that hide the truth
I won't sweat one more drop for you
'Cause we are the rust upon your gears
We are the insect in your ears
We crawl, we crawl, we crawl ALL OVER YOU
We sow seeds to see us through
Our days are precious and so few
We all reap what we are due
Under this sky no longer blue
We bring the dawn long over due
We crawl, we crawl, we crawl ALL OVER YOU!
