The You & Me's - Never-Ending Battle

If you want to express yourself, you may use the voting ballot
One of two horrible choice and only half a silver bullet
Between a cop and a corpse that are both bigots
The only ones ever allowed to rule are lobbied sellouts
They decide who lives and dies and put the blame on the dead
A victorious story will always be manipulated
Serious matters are so soon dimissed and then put to bed
And all the culprits' names are forgotten and redacted

The morning after the elections, waiting on the result
Anxiously wondering who won, the soldiers or the cult?
Every side will then say that the other side is at fault
When rich corporatists are the one leading the assault
Insurrections are firecrackers underwater
Violently repressed or supported by a mock dictator
A show of force so we stay afraid of the ones in power
While the blights of the life of the people are shown no matter

You can't win, I can't win
Fear's the driving factor in this life
Our emotions are betrayers, making us miss the bigger picture
Playing those games, we can't win

If you want to weigh in the balance against excess and evil
You may do good deeds that are needed even if little
Overzealous huge plans fail waiting for approval
Nothing changes if we don't reach the upheaval
This game is so old and it's a never-ending battle
Where social gains dismissal can be used as a missile
As a message, as a threat sent to the people
We have rocks and the ruling class' weapons are lethal

So many laws set to impose troubles on one's survival
Scarcity of opportunity turn brothers into rivals
There are means to make an easier life for the people
But a broken desperate person is much more serviceable
It's not by diving in the system that things will get better
This game is rigged by and for the people that have the power
This is why we have to stand together and help each other
Fellowship is the way, pals, sisters and brothers

You can't win, I can't win
Fear's the driving factor in this life
Our emotions are betrayers, making us miss the bigger picture
Playing those games, we can't win
Help your kith and kin
Caring is how you fight for your life
Communities become stronger, when we show support to one another
Playing those games we can't win
