Ten Thirty Three - ¡MAYDAY!

Lost in America

Lost in it’s ways

Lost opportunities to climb out the cage

Addicted to the spirits or that herb concentrate

They tryna make a killing, inflicting scars and scrapes

Go ahead and pledge allegiance, while you kneel down and pray

But it won’t make a difference when the ships are at bay

When the drones are above and satellites up in space

There ain’t no place to hide when the fear in your face

I used to think the future meant the past would erase

But I’ve seen it all before, I think we all run in place

The same coloured faces gettin' blasted away

And the same old excuses from before gettin' made

Men in grey suits selling lives, gettin' paid

Making us all slaves for a little chump change

And all the signs on the wall read something blood red

But they can’t stop us all with one bullet to the head

Don’t worry 'bout the tanks outside, they only tryna scare you

They want you to run for your life, just so they can hunt you down

Don’t worry 'bout the boys outside, they only tryna scare you

Big Brother got an eye in the sky, I think it’s time to take it down

Down (repeats)

Wakin' up and drownin in the sound of loud sirens

Police state turning into military minded

Bought ranks from banks, trucks from the feds

Innocence is overrated, fuck what you said

I got tased in the supermarket pressed by a shotty

They shooting at us like we born with bulletproof bodies

Protest signs burn by the campfire

You never planned to stop me Death Goddamn liar

Via dire death rates that get higher up than Mariah

Self-preservations, now, might just expire

And I was on the side of the road with a flat tire

Piggy wanna stop and run my license through the live wire

Thanks for all the help boss, I’ll see you in my taxes

Or on the day you coming back around to harass us

Each and every one of y’all is guilty as the next

What happens to the oath you took to serve and protect?

I’ve been chained down, blindfolded and tamed now

To be smiling when they bring violence to the playground

Little Susie with her hair all up in pigtails

Caught an Uzi and now she’s just another pig’s tale

What?

You want us to be down on our knees

To just let you believe that you can silence the free?

We’ll be running in the night now, tryna fight the demons

In the picket line you can hear us all screaming

Don’t worry 'bout the tanks outside, they only tryna scare you

They want you to run for your life, just so they can hunt you down

Don’t worry 'bout the boys outside, they only tryna scare you

Big Brother got an eye in the sky, I think it’s time to take it down

Down (repeats)
