We Got A War - The Haymarket Squares

We’re gonna take all your money
even though you can’t pay your bills
we don’t care if you can barely survive
we’ve got bullets to buy and people to kill

we got a war
we got a war
we got a war
we got a war to pay for

you aren’t poor and you aren’t rich
middle class tax is such a bitch
you make too much to get paid to have kids
hard working americans don’t get shit
tax your body tax your life
tax every fucking thing you buy
pay up now or get read your rights
I think we all know why

we got a war
we got a war
we got a war
we got a war to pay for

Opinions - The Haymarket Squares

On a bright day in 2008
america united said it’s time for a change
wait a minute it’s still not okay
for a man to marry man but the church can marry state
this kind of love is only for the straight

Who the hell are you to deny
your fellow man his human rights
nobody says that you have to agree
but you have to let others be free

You’re more concerned with definitions than you are with love
are you homophobic or just plain dumb?
your jealous genocidal god spreads hate like a crusade
I can’t believe that your beliefs are still alive today
why can’t you just go away?

Who the hell are you to deny
your fellow man his human rights
nobody says that you have to agree
but you have to let others be free

These are not opinions I am right and you are wrong
your arguments are worthless and your reasoning is flawed
your mind can’t be free when it’s locked inside an ancient book
you’d see the truth is much bigger than that if you ever cared to look
religion is more of a choice than lifestyles you condemn
and you’ve chosen to believe that freedom is for everyone but them
your impending extinction will come when we change outdated laws
these are not opinions I am right and you are wrong
these are not opinions I am right and you are wrong
these are not opinions I am right and you are wrong

The Haymarket Squares - Oligarchy

We don’t live in a democracy
and I’m sure that we never have
electoral college means that your vote doesn’t count
and it never has
lobbyists buy political influence
which means you’ll never be represented
unless you’re elite unless you’re a money loving
power hungry life destroying anti-evolutionary
enemy of freedom who won’t stop until
we’ve forgotten there was once a thing called human rights

We don’t live in a democracy
it’s an oligarchy at best
we don’t live in a democracy
and we’d be better off with anarchy

Fuck the FCC
you assholes got it wrong
I can’t be free and not say exactly what I want
fuck the FDA
we’re poisoned every day
chemicals aren’t food
but they say eat it anyway
fuck the DEA
and the worthless TSA
it’s my government I fear
so fool the sheep but you’ll never keep me safe

We don’t live in a democracy
it’s an oligarchy at best
we don’t live in a democracy
and we’d be better off with anarchy

We don’t live in a democracy
We don’t live in a democracy
We don’t live in a democracy
and we’d be better off with anarchy
