Lyrics

(Verse 1) The blinders on your eyes Have been there since birth Never thought about the lies Never saw your own worth The time has come For you to see Rich old white men Don’t control you and me (Chorus) Smash the system Break it down Take a look Hear the sound The Patriarchy Holds you down On your hands The chains are bound The Patriarchy Holds you down On your hands The chains are bound (Verse 2) Tell the woman you’re a slut Far too long with no voice Can’t control your own gut Robbed every day of your choice Be a man do not cry Wear a mask it’s a lie Every day you wonder why Why you keep it all inside (Chorus) Smash the system Break it down Take a look Hear the sound The Patriarchy Holds you down On your hands The chains are bound The Patriarchy Holds you down On your hands The chains are bound (Verse 3) The system is the enemy Works against the common good Kept in place by you and me But against it some have stood Gotta ignore their lies Cos now it’s time to rise And you gotta face the truth Time for us to hear their cries (Chorus) Smash the system Break it down Take a look Hear the sound The Patriarchy Holds you down On your hands The chains are bound The Patriarchy Holds you down On your hands The chains are bound
