Raushan - Class Warfare lyrics
rate meChorusThey fight for the wealthy and well-connectedBut there arent enough millionaires to get them electedSo, by keeping the workers fighting each otherThrough using Divide and Conquer, they can force their will upon us(Class Warfare)Fanning the flames of our divisionsUntil were too distracted to realize theyre winningThen theyre keeping the people fighting each otherBy using Divide and Conquer, theyre forcing their will upon us (ClassWarfare)V1Let's begin with the ruling elites of the upper classesAnd the ways they keep their positions as masters of the massesThey have their own set of laws, don't even live among the publicTheir connections give them power and their money buys them justiceSetting the rules of society, controlling the resources that we needThe architects of every war, greed fuels their policiesThey're investors, our military leaders, and the bankersThe hidden political donors, CEOs, and money changersControlling every industry from science to entertainmentThey craft your "American Dream" then profit from your attempts to gain itMaking a fortune off of their policies and the lifestyle they sellHoarding the wealth of entire regions, keeping it for themselvesThrough tax havens, subsidies, and government contractsAnd by looting poor nations they know can't fight backThen cut services to the workers and the poor to pay for itWhile convincing the workers to blame each other for their bad fortuneUsing politics to keep us fighting each other instead of acknowledgingThey're Social Darwinists, believing the rich should live in dominanceLike neo-colonists, controlling the world's their true purposeThe ruling class is waging a war to keep us as their servantsChorusThey fight for the wealthy and well-connectedBut there arent enough millionaires to get them electedSo, by keeping the workers fighting each otherThrough using Divide and Conquer, they can force their will upon us(Class Warfare)Fanning the flames of our divisionsUntil were too distracted to realize theyre winningThen theyre keeping the people fighting each otherBy using Divide and Conquer, theyre forcing their will upon us (ClassWarfare)V2Next you have the middle class, who've worked themselves out of povertyThey typically stay employed and are homeowners with familiesThey're educated taxpayers who refuse to finish lastThey've played the game and paid their dues; the American Dream's withinTheir graspAnd their goal's to be financially secureBut they feel a hidden hand holding them back, keeping them just above thePoorSo they sacrifice their dreams in order to help their children riseLiterally working themselves to death in order to keep that dream aliveAnd that's exactly how it was planned to be, to keep you working inFactoriesOr industries controlled or owned by the ruling elite; the cycle's completeWhen they trap you in a mortgage, credit cards, or student loansNow you're forced to work your entire lives to keep the things you thinkYou ownAnd that's why you're considered the "cash cows" of the ruling classesGetting robbed by inflation, energy costs, and property taxes, Rising tuitions for your children, while the bankers raid your pensionsDuring the latest "financial crisis" that was designed to keep youImprisonedNow your retirement funds are gone, you've worked your life away forNothingThen their politicians come, manipulating your pain and sufferingThen direct it at other workers instead of the wealthy who deserve itAnd this is exactly how the wealthy make you their servantsChorusThey fight for the wealthy and well-connectedBut there arent enough millionaires to get them electedSo, by keeping the workers fighting each otherThrough using Divide and Conquer, they can force their will upon us(Class Warfare)Fanning the flames of our divisionsUntil were too distracted to realize theyre winningThen theyre keeping the people fighting each otherBy using Divide and Conquer, theyre forcing their will upon us (ClassWarfare)V3Finally this brings us to the lower classes, no disrespectBut we're the poor and the ones living check-to-check, cuz the biggestThreatTo our rulers is an educated and united publicCuz when the masses know the truth, revolutions end their corruptionSo their plan's to keep us quiet, uninformed and unexcitedInstigating petty rivalries so the workers are now dividedOver religion, race and gender; feeding us lies by the hourWasting our anger on each other while those cowards stay in powerFlooding communities with drugs cuz they keep us sedatedThen distract us with porn and other forms of entertainmentAnd their propaganda channels feed us the lies they want us to believeTeaching us to hate their enemies so we'll fight in their wars of greedBut the media never mentions that our targets are defenselessOr the billions that the wealthy stand to gain from these decisionsInstead they show us the high life until we're more concernedWith movies, sports, and music to care for what's going on in the worldFollowing celebrities like idols, the salesmen of the wealthyHand-picked to endorse their products and the lifestyle they're sellingMaking you think it's cool to break laws, get high, and pimp womenThen they target those who do it to fill their for-profit prisonsThose that want to fight against them are afraid for their childrenWorking full time and still barely able to make a livingSo they're grateful to our masters for the crumbs that they're givenAnd that's why the wealthy don't have to listen cuz they're winningChorusThey fight for the wealthy and well-connectedBut there arent enough millionaires to get them electedSo, by keeping the workers fighting each otherThrough using Divide and Conquer, they can force their will upon us(Class Warfare)Fanning the flames of our divisionsUntil were too distracted to realize theyre winningThen theyre keeping the people fighting each otherBy using Divide and Conquer, theyre forcing their will upon us (ClassWarfare)
