Black lines across my face black lines across my sky
Trapped shadows in a man-made cage big brothers unspoken lie
Free to choose but you gotta pay
Free to speak but watch what you say
Freedom on your knees to your corporation pray
Give it up
'Cause you make me sick
You gotta cut the crap
'Cause this sh** is thick
Some kinda damage done the damage done to me
Beat me down into the ground tell me how it's supposed to be
Take it all and leave me nothing politics of the bourgeois
Promises can't feed the ma**es of a working cla** in poverty
Give it up
'Cause you make me sick
You gotta cut the crap
'Cause this sh** is thick
Black lines across my face black lines across my sky
Blind justice in a world of fear incarcerate and crucify
Scapegoats and the bitter pill
Swallow hard and fire at will
It's open season on the poor
As Johnny Law scores another k**
