Screaming for a Change

The architects of misery Call down from their battle rooms on high They picking fights for you and I To gamble loss and set the price But from the depths to the mountains We struggle for our lives The pushback is controlled by the same routine That keeps us scattered inside Oh, I don't know how to break it But oh, I'm trying harder every day To rise up, strike a match, burn it down, and walk away I'm still screaming for a change Behind the walls they set the pace Kick up their pawns to sell their game They roll the dice so we can't see The wool pulled down to misplace blame Lashing out for their come-ups Lashing out for their lies Lashing out at each other Lashing out for their crimes Oh, I don't know how to break it But oh, I'm trying harder every day To rise up, strike a match, burn it down, and walk away I'm still screaming for a change While you're waving the flag They're making deals in the back Riding out pointing fingers and blame At your neighbors in the struggle While you're safe in your bubble Building greed 'till there ain't no escape They say "you up" and you holler Got you proud of the honor To be blessed with this life on a chain While the fear that's inside Got you pent up with hate Ain't you tired of living this way? Oh, I don't know how to break it But oh, I'm trying harder every day To rise up, strike a match, burn it down, and walk away To rise up, strike a match, burn it down, and walk away I'm still screaming for a change (I'm still screaming for a change) I'm still screaming for a change (I'm still screaming for a change) I'm still screaming for a change (Oh, I don't know how to break it) I'm still screaming for a change
