Lyrics

Power doesn't yield unless it's challenged.
Democracy is more than voting, it's participating
Step one: dismantle the myth machine
The media's a puppet with a corporate sheen
Framin' your thoughts, they set the debate
While the truth's in the margins, buried in hate
It's not left vs. right, it's top vs. base
And the owners of power control the race
Multinationals writin' every law
Bought politicians with no flaw
Say it loud we need worker control
Syndicates rise, that's the ultimate goal
Factories, schools, in the people's hands
Democratic decisions from grassroots lands
We ain't manufacturin' consent no more
Breakin' the chains from the corporate war
Real democracy, bottom-up drive
With justice, the people truly thrive
Foreign policy? Just imperial games
Topple a state, then shift the blame
Call it freedom, but it's just control
Resource theft is the real goal
End the wars, bring the troops home
Peace ain't weak it's flesh and bone
Stop proppin' dictators for a pipeline deal
Let nations breathe, let wounds heal
Free speech is key, but watch how it's used
When the loudest mic is the most abused
Voices from below gotta rise and speak
Power to the workers, the poor, the weak
We ain't manufacturin' consent no more
Breakin' the chains from the corporate war
Real democracy, bottom-up drive
With justice, the people truly thrive
The concentration of wealth yields the concentration of power
And unless that cycle breaks, freedom's an illusion
Anarcho roots but not chaos reign
It's organized people breakin' the chain
No masters, no slaves, just mutual aid
From the ruins of capital, a new world made
Education free and truly diverse
Not just training to fill a corporate purse
Critical thought, not national pride
Teach every student how power hides
Break the banks, no more bailouts
People need homes, not trickle-down doubts
Horizontal power, no more elites
With every street takin' part in the feats
We ain't manufacturin' consent no more
This revolution ain't folklore
From MIT lectures to the beat in your ear
Chomsky's vision finally clear
Freedom is not given. It's taken
If we want a just society, we must build it together
