Common People

I'm tired of American socialite culture
 God it makes me sick
 I've got so much fire burning deep inside
 The time has come to face the truth and bring about a change
 I don't care about all your books and magazines
 All these new evolving scenes or plastic teenage dreams
 Want to sing for all the angry kids up on the block
 The kids are fighting dope, the people time forgot
 These things are the things that stir my soul, impassion me to sing
 Got so much frustration, really starting to sting
 See so many faults, got things to vent and lose
 All fed up with everything so this is what I choose
 We have had, had enough
 The time has come to call their bluff
 This is a battle cry for the common people
 The forgotten nowhere kids stuck in the middle
 We're singing this song for all of the common people
 Who've given up so much and gotten back so little
 And another thing that bothers me is the black gold gang and how they use the poor
 With arrogance and lies, all those fake smiles
 The time has come to call them out so let the gloves come off
 Us lower class kids get stuck inside a rich man's war
 Seems like less about the freedom and more like mining with the world
 And we're not born of entitlement, we hump down in the dirt
 Sometimes it makes us wonder what we're really fighting for
 These are things that light my fuse and make me wonder why
 Losing my grip on the handle, off it I might fly
 See so many faults, got things to vent and lose
 All fed up with everything, so this is what I choose
 We have had, had enough
 The time has come to call their bluff
 This is a battle cry for the common people
 The forgotten nowhere kids stuck in the middle
 We're singing this song for all of the common people
 Who've given up so much and got back so little
 Got a lot on my mind, too much something I think
 Pretty damn opinionated, make me swim or sink
 Should I give it up? Close my mouth for good?
 Go back to work, I should... hell no!
 This is a battle cry for the common people
 The forgotten nowhere kids stuck in the middle
 We're singing this song for all of the common people
 Who've given up so much and got back so little
 (x2)
 Got no more to talk about, this is where we are
 Not a damn expert only sing what's in my heart
 This is what we have to say and this is what we do
 And if you don't like it... fuck you!
