lyrics

This is for the single moms, still on welfare with 3 jobs
Your government doesn't care about you
This is for the college kids, enjoy your debt til you're 56
Your government doesn't care about you

This is America today
Land of the sleaze, home of the shamed
Every single day, they take more rights away
Your government wants to control you

This is for the young black men, systemically oppressed to no end
Your government doesn't care about you
This is for the ones who died, can't afford marked up drugs by their side
Your government doesn't care about you

This is America today
Land of the sleaze, home of the shamed
Every single day, they take more rights away
Your government wants to control you

Where has compassion gone?
Where has their conscious gone?
Logic and reason all but gone
All but gone

This is for the single moms (your government doesn't care)
This is for the college kids (your government doesn't care)
This is for the young black men (your government doesn't care)
This is for the ones that dies (your government doesn't care)
