The Lucky Few - No Cash

I’m sprouted from a racist seed

The white men stole the land they need

To renovate a state of hate

And greed and call it something great

So every fall you could give thanks

For genocide of natives by the ranks

Now you can find fast food in every town

McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Taco Bell

And as free trade kills domestic jobs

They blame minorities for all their probs

And lock 'em up for their enjoyment

And say they’re the cause of unemployment

Although they say that we’re all free

It never felt that way to me

As you sit back and watch us die

I can’t help but asking, «why?»

Now why?

(Why…why…why?)

Crooked cops on every block

And racist courts to lock you up

A judicial system so corrupt

If you’re not white you are a criminal

Educated by the biased man

The kids too dumb to take a stand

Faith in dreams that always die

But nightmares hold the upper hand

It snowballs into worthless pawns

Multiplying, buying, on and on

Slaving for that weekly wage

But in the end, guess who gets paid?

Although they say that we’re all free

It never felt that way to me

As you sit back and watch us die

I can’t help but asking «why?»

Now why

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey, hey
