lyrics

Well there's something behind the throne its greater than the king
it speaks with hissing tongues about minor little things

so i walked the block, shot at cops
round the corner and then got dropped,
when I got out of the hospital it felt great to be alive

but i've got something to do before i die,
gonna face that power empire in the sky

Well i've been told what to think for long as i've known
and carried shackles of oppression where everything was sold
you can have my dollars but you'll never steal my soul
believe me i'm not as dumb as you were told

But i' joined a corporation, shot a CEO
Then i faced the cage and i'm alone

Because i stood here against authority, with a sovereign state of mind
and if your ideas conflict with gritted teeth of mine.

I say stop this operation
working tax and minimum wage
in the morning i'll be shipped away
in the morning i'll be shipped away...
