Rats in the System
Verse 1:
They said they’d protect us, they said they’d be true,
But the deals they’re making, they’re all for the few.
They sold us the dream, but now it’s a lie,
While they’re pocketing power, we’re left to deny.
The system’s a maze, and they’re calling the shots,
Taking what they can, while we’re left with the cost.
They’ve turned their backs on the very things they swore,
And now the people are knocking on the door.
Chorus:
Rats in the system, they’re feeding on greed,
Selling their souls for their selfish need.
They betrayed the people, they sold out the dream,
Now we’re stuck in a nightmare, nothing’s what it seems.
Verse 2:
They wear their suits, they speak with charm,
But behind the smiles, they’ve done us harm.
It’s all about power, it’s all about wealth,
They’d sell us out for their own health.
The country’s in pieces, and they don’t care,
They’re counting their cash while we’re gasping for air.
Every promise they made, it’s now out the door,
They’re living the high life, while we hit the floor.
Chorus:
Rats in the system, they’re feeding on greed,
Selling their souls for their selfish need.
They betrayed the people, they sold out the dream,
Now we’re stuck in a nightmare, nothing’s what it seems.
Bridge:
We built this country with blood and sweat,
But they’ve turned it into something we’ll never forget.
They’ve poisoned the well, they’ve tarnished the name,
And we’re left to deal with the fallout of their game.
Chorus:
Rats in the system, they’re feeding on greed,
Selling their souls for their selfish need.
They betrayed the people, they sold out the dream,
Now we’re stuck in a nightmare, nothing’s what it seems.
Outro:
They took the power, they took the trust,
But they’ll never escape the ruin they’ve thrust.
Rats in the system, they’ll pay for their lies,
One day the truth will rise, and we’ll cut the ties.
