Dominant Paradigm |
Everywhere I look everything looks the same |
Homogenized state of decay |
There ain’t much left that ain’t been compromised |
For a profit; |
at least that’s the way I call it |
(murder) Another million made in the sweat shops |
(murder) Another victim of the pressure drop and it’s |
(murder) in the market place (murder) it makes no sense to me Conspiracy to steal your soul |
Create walking billboards with corporate logos |
Zombies in the shopping megaplex |
Economy based on training the rats |
We’ve been goin in the wrong direction too long |
And it’s too late to fix the system |
Goin in the wrong direction too long, and it’s too late |
So if you wanna firebomb Starbucks (it's alright by me!) |
And if you wanna shoplift at Wal-Mart (it's alright by me!) |
And if you wanna vandalize a McDonalds |
Take a baseball bat to that corporate clown Ronald |
If you wanna set town hall on fire |
Judge the judges and sentence em to firing lines |
'Cause it’s those mutha fuckas that should be doin time |
Not some poor sap smokin weed trying to tune out the dominant paradigm |
And I said whoa whoa shit is gettin rough |
Remember when the cops used to be lookin out for us Officer O’Malley helpin granny cross the street |
Givin candy to the kids, keepin killers off the street |
Now he signed a deal with the highway patrol |
Give him lip, you’ll end up on national TV yo You got the right to remain silent |
But that’s just how they like it, nice and compliant |
So I’d rather scream instead |
I’d rather go out loud, than a sheep being led to the slaughter |
I’m sayin fuck law and order |
Fuck work, fuck taxes, fuck national borders (3x) |
Well they just made that shit up to protect the status quo |
And if ya slip up then they can fuck ya yo So if you wanna smash a dare van (it's alright by me!) |
Kick a crown victoria’s lights in (it's alright by me!) |
And if you wanna punch the magistrate’s face in Make him look stupid in front of all of his cop friends |
If you wanna set the court on fire |
Judge the judges and sentence them to firing lines |
'Cause it’s those mutha fuckas that should be doin time |
Not some poor sap smokin weed trying to tune out the dominant paradigm |
It’s alright by me! |
(3x) |
