[Intro]

[Verse]
0:04
Yeah man⦠they talk about freedom,
0:04
but freedom for who?
0:09
Hear mi nowā¦
0:12
(Verse 1)
0:12
Theyāre kissinā babies, shakinā hands,
0:12
Sellinā dreams you donāt understand.
0:17
āVote for hope,ā thatās what they say,
0:20
But itās the same old trick in a brand-new way.
0:23
One man smile, the next man grin,
0:27
Same corruption dressed up again.
0:30
Power and greed, two of a kind,
0:33
Squeezinā the people till thereās nothinā to find.
0:36
(Chorus)
0:39
Itās the same old game, same old face,
0:39
Sellinā out souls to win the race.
0:44
Talkinā change, but the change donāt come,
0:47
All them promises beat like drumā
0:50
Bam-bam, lie for lie,
0:54
Watch them climb while the poor man cry.
0:57
Same old game, same old face,
1:00
Sellinā out souls to win the race.
1:03
(Bridge)
1:07
Democracy sleep in a lobbyist bed,
1:07
Truth get gagged and justice dead.
1:13
Freedom for sale, the rich man buy,
1:20
While the youthman dream just fade and die.
1:25
(Verse 2)
1:31
They wave dem flag, beat dem drum,
1:31
Say āunity,ā but divide we come.
1:34
Tax the sweat from the workinā hand,
1:37
Feeding greed across the land.
1:41
The puppet dance, the master grin,
1:44
System rigged ā the house still win.
1:48
Theyāll crawl, theyāll claw, theyāll cheat, theyāll lie,
1:51
Just to cross that finish line.
1:55
(Chorus)
1:58
Same old game, same old face,
1:58
Sellinā out souls to win the race.
2:01
Talkinā peace, but the guns still blaze,
2:05
People starve while the leaders praise.
2:08
Same old game, same old crime,
2:11
Runninā this show since the start of time.Oh yeah, same old storyā¦
2:14
Different suit, same category.
2:20
Babylon smile while the people fall,
2:23
No justice, no peace at all.
2:26
Oh yeahā¦
2:29
Same old game, same old lieā
2:31
And the people still askinā why.
2:34
