Do you hear the sound of a bell?
Did you wish your family well
Times ain't the same in the neighbourhood
Got the parents all going through hell
Cause the guns keep flying off the self

Do you see the man on the street?
Just fighting for a meal to eat
You can write him off as a lunatic
But it could've been you or me
If we didn't ever find our feet

Love me now
Hold me down
And the government's staying on heavy foot
And they try to keep us all down
No they're never gonna keep us all down

Do you see the birds in the cage?
On the highway working likе slaves
It's a con, it's a rouse, it's a gaslight
Ain't it funny, how fare wе've came
For them to go and change the name

Do you see the man on the screen?
Just a puppet though you never see the stings
Calling it a war not a genocide
Telling us "It isn't what it seems"
Man, that's a different kind of greed

Love me now
Hold me down
And the government's staying on heavy foot
And they try to keep us all down
Love me now
Hold me down
And the government's staying on heavy foot
And they try to keep us all down
No they're never gonna keep us all down
(Try to keep us all down)
No they're never gonna keep us all down
