Rule the rules Measure with rulers The rulers of the world don't measure up As soon as they have 12 inches They put it in their orifice In the name of their public office They put the foot in their mouth The role of the ruler Is to roll over and play dead When it comes to basic human rights They shoot `em down as quick as they can get `em in their sights While piling on self riches... Self wealth Yup... A role they stole Rulers have lost their straight edge Trying to hedge their electoral vote Their concern for John Doe is sooo remote Their concern for more dough is a given I doubt you'll see a one of `em in heaven They strive to thrive in Hades In the Nation Of Pandemonium No gentle men. No gentlemen. No ladies. Have some delirium Take a tour of uncivil war We are the subject of the rulers We are the subjects of the rulers We are subject to the rulers Will we be followers of these leaders Follow the shadow Use your body to cast a shadow on another Or, come together in the name of each other Will we object to being the subjects of their cruel rule Or, will we passively participate in the perpetuation of hate? See what it brings when we crown them kings? See what we anoint when we appoint a fool to rule?
