Revolutionary Resonance (go ahead and fact check)
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I clock in every morning, break my back to pay the rent,
But I’ve been reading history on how our time was spent.
They tell us progress saved us from a peasant's misery,
But all those humble workers had more leisure time than me!
It started with the "commons," when the earth was for us all,
Before the lords and barons built a boundary and a wall.
They called it the "Enclosure," stole the meadow from the goose,
Turned stewardship to ownership and hitched their train to our caboose
Then came factories and Ford's fictitious forty-hour grind,
Just another way to keep the working class confined!
[Verse 2]
They feed us made up tales of how we bartered for our bread
But money started as a debt, a twisted temple ledger read.
To fund their bloody battles, yeah, the state was built for war
And taxes were the engine that they used to keep the score
From food and grain, to poll taxes, they construct the modern state
While we’re stuck here in the darkness carrying the weight.
They measure us in scarcity, they tax our very lives,
To feed a broken system where inflation is a lie
[Chorus]
We're all trapped in a system built on extraction,
Tired of the fences, ready to take some action!
Forty, sixty, eighty hours, caught inside the spin,
A delusion, an illusion, that keeps us all trapped in!
But the tension of the bowstring is pulling to the max
We’re turning into diamonds through this pressure on our backs!
It's time to break the illusion, time to tear the fences down
And bring that revolutionary resonance back around!
[Verse 3]
Now my kid can't get a job without a fancy college sheet
Penguin suit for a desk job or a spot upon the street.
It's called degree inflation, an intelligence machine
While the skills of our own hands are hardly ever seen
We traded human value for a paper and a grade,
To keep us all divided in the hierarchies they made.
They want us system-educated, drowning in their loans,
While the corporate machine, extracts us to our bones!
[Verse 4]
And the mirror is our armor that we put on to defend,
Reflecting all the darkness, till the separation ends.
They taught us the Lie Of Severance, that we are all apart
But I can feel the unity connecting all our hearts.
We’re not just cogs and pieces in an economic game,
We’re fractals of inferno, and we all carry a flame.
Our ego built the armor to block out all the light
But we're dropping the defenses, and picking up the fight.
[Chorus]
Cause we're all trapped in a system built on extraction,
Tired of the fences, ready for some action!
Forty, sixty, eighty hours, caught inside the spin,
A delusion, an illusion, that keeps us all trapped in!
But the tension of the bowstring is pulling to the max
We’re turning into diamonds through this pressure on our backs!
Time to break the illusion, time to tear the fences down
And send that revolutionary resonance back into the ground!
[Outro]
So keep your fiat money and your bureaucratic rules,
We’re done with being fuel for you disconnected fools.
The friction was the fire that we needed to evolve,
With our natural liberties, stand with unified resolve.
From a raindrop to the ocean, let the working class rise up,
Reclaim our natural commons, flood waters filling up our cup!
[Chorus]
We're all trapped in a system built on extraction,
Tired of the fences, ready to take some action!
Forty, sixty, eighty hours, caught inside the spin,
A delusion, an illusion, that keeps us locked in!
But the tension of the bowstring is pulling to the max
We’re turning into diamonds through this pressure on our backs!
It's time to break the illusion, time to tear the fences down
And swing that revolutionary resonance raging back around!
Let's bring the revolutionary resonance back around!
Time for a revolution
Reclaim what's rightfully ours
Revolution is our power
Revolution starts right now
