They always told her that if she went to college, that she could make a change
Then she found it to be a myth just like getting ahead on minimum wage
Students don’t give a fuck tryin to make the grade
Profs scared to death tryin to keep getting paid
Corrupt officials, everyone knows, school is about that capital flow
[Chorus]
“Everybody’s got a chance just follow our lead”
Fuck your carbon copy of the American dream
“Pick a party you like and vote them in”
Elections make scapegoats, doesn’t matter who wins
“Just calm down and act more rational”
That’s what they say to exclude the radicals
“But you’re all protected by the constitution”
All our friends behind bars proves that this is an illusion
He always thought the left wing party, would really shake things up
But when they had a little success they left their ideals in the dust
Moderating their position, reaching for the middle
Scheming for jobs, power and influence
Democracy keeping a few satisfied, designed to keep the liberal promise alive
Don't let them make you believe in the liberal promise
