Seven years of power, the corporation claw
The rich control the government, the media, the law
To make some kind of difference, then everyone must know
Eradicate the facists, revolution will grow
The system we learn says we're equal under law
But the streets are reality, the weak and poor will fall
Let's tip the power balance, and tear down their crown
Educate the masses, we'll burn the White House down
--
Religion and sex are powerplays, manipulate the people for the money they pay
Selling skin, or selling god, the numbers look the same on the credit cards
Fighting fire with empty words
While the banks get fat
the poor stay poor
the rich get rich
and the cops get paid
to look away
as the one percent rules everything
--Queensryche, "Operation: Mindcrime"
