lyrics

I woke one morning I was feeling a little bit free
Gonna end them days of the man exploiting me
But I made the mistake of misunderestimating the powers that be,
When I pushed the man, the man kicked the sh*t out of me.
I woke one morning I was feeling a little bit free
Said I’m tired of subsidizing that nobility
But I looked up to see we was permanently at the bottom of a pyramid scheme
And when I tried to climb up, it toppled and buried me

And so on and on on the treadmill we run until we find we’ve few breaths left to breathe
And if I have a son, one day on that treadmill he’ll run just like my daddy did before me

I woke one morning, I was feeling a little bit free
Said this system that keeps us down is too arbitrary
But when acted upon, the system reacts and disregards proportionality
And when I questioned the system, the system kicked the sh*t out of me
Yeah I made the mistake of misunderestimating the powers that be,
When I pushed the man, the man kicked the sh*t out of me.
