How much do you pay for product what do you pay for hype
How long will that purchase matter when that "push" falls from your sight
If they sugar coat the poison it'll kill you quite the same
Tune us in as consumers and anesthetize our brains
We're too dumb to figure out that we all play the game and we're to blame
Do we know what's fact or fiction do you really trust the news
How much truth gets filtered out before it gets to you
Diverting your attention from the problems here at home
Sweep the homeless under the rug in our ghettos we disown
Out of sight out of mind it's a method we condone reap what we've sown
People fight for equality for their gender and their race
They seek to blame each other for the problems that they face
But when 20% of the country owns 80% of its wealth
it limits your opportunities to playing the hand that you're dealt
Because money is what divides more than color or creed
The middle class the poor and rich minority
and while they tear down homeless shelters to erect big strip mall chains
the gap between the rich and poor gets wider every day
It doesn't matter what they say to you we're never gonna be the same
