Aggravated - Cryptic Slaughter

Authoritarian attitudes change the way we live

No one seems to realize how much we have to give

They label us as stupid don’t listen to a word we say

But we’ll just keep fighting, soon we’ll have our day

Is this democracy or authoritarian rule

Land of the free, but we’re treated like fools

If they’d just listen, I know for sure they’d find

It’s not a lot of noise, we also have minds

I’m tired of being treated as a second rate citizen

I’m no different except that I protest

Is that a crime or am I truly free?

How did it all start, I can’t begin to guess

They don’t give us a chance, I think they are afraid

Of what we might say would upset the life they made

They keep telling us what they feel is wrong

But there’s so much more, so I put it in a song

We can’t sit by as they diminish our lives away

They can’t keep us down, they’re resistance disapates

Seeing their faults, I can’t turn my head

I just sit and smile as my feelings turn to hate
