Two, Three, Four! The world ain't how it used to be When I was watching it on the TV screen When I went to school They taught to me A revisionist version of history Where MLK was never shot by the FBI And every war we've ever been in was justified Where the judges and the juries are colorblind And our worst days are long left behind But that is not the world I see when I look at what's right in front of me The cops keep killing and we all watch They get two weeks of paid time off We all still watch the genocide But look away when we get tired We still salute the war machine Until the soldiers come back and need somewhere to sleep oh, yeah This ain't the world you promised me No it's nothing like you said it'd be We live to work until we work to death for a CEO we've never met They said: Everyone trust the government 'cause criminals can't be president And politicians only represent The people who elected them But that is not the world I see when I look at what's right in front of me The poor stay poor and then drop dead The rich get richer off their blood and sweat Everyone gets an atom bomb The people cheer and clap along As the show begins the fever starts It's our own nuclear holocaust I sell my life for pennies flat For someone else, I break my tired back If I'm leaving you're coming too Before I go down I'm getting you Everybody! When we go down When we go down (that's right) We go down together When we go down yeah! When we go down (that's right) We go down together Together (alright) We go down (hey, hey!) We go down together Oh, yeah
