Lyrics
Watching the time slowly go by Wondering if we'll live to see tomorrow Here in my head I'm already dead Is it only my imagination? They make the rules With a roll of the dice And we pay the price And we are the fools 'Cause time after time We believe all their lies How long until we wake up To the 21st century robber barons How long until we rise up This time we can't ask our parents To fight the powers that be They'll take it all and lock it away All the savings from our years of labor The privileged few Are hoarding the wealth They don't care about our hopes Or our health They change the rules Without thinking twice And we pay the price And we are the fools 'Cause time after time We believe all their lies How long until we wake up To the 21st century robber barons How long until we rise up This time we can't ask our parents To fight the powers that be Fight the powers Oh, fight the powers that be Fight the powers Oh fight the powers That's what it means To be free
