Struggle

You can keep a good man down
 if he won't stand up and fight
 it's time to wake up
 it's time to see the light
 equality doesn't exist
 it's just an ideal in the mind
 there's not enough to go around
 so take what you can find
 Mud on your face
 Kick me sign on your back
 they took it all
 it's time to take it back
 do unto others
 and watch them beat you down
 don't fall below the surface
 they'll let you drown
 they'll let you down
 Black and blue
 Tattered and torn
 You've been gettin stepped on
 since the day that you were born
 they say give up
 cause you can't win
 you're stuck on hte outside
 and they wont let you in
 I took all the crap I can
 and I can't take no more
 if they won't let me in
 I'm breaking down the door
 Disregard the rules
 Disregard the laws
 they'll get you nothing
 I want it all
 they'll lead you to believe
 that you're doing just fine
 they'll live like kings
 and you'll fall farther behind
 I remember a song i had to sing when i was 10
 "this land is your land, this land is mine"
 and i believed what they said
 and you believed what they said
 and we believed what they said
 but they lied to me
 and they'll lie to you too
 and they'll go on denying
 and we'll go on dying
 I'm not afraid to die
 just afraid to never have lived
 and the struggle goes on and on
 (we can take no more)
