[Intro]
[Verse]
Yeah man… they talk about freedom,
but freedom for who?
Hear mi now…
(Verse 1)
They’re kissin’ babies, shakin’ hands,
Sellin’ dreams you don’t understand.
“Vote for hope,” that’s what they say,
But it’s the same old trick in a brand-new way.
One man smile, the next man grin,
Same corruption dressed up again.
Power and greed, two of a kind,
Squeezin’ the people till there’s nothin’ to find.
(Chorus)
It’s the same old game, same old face,
Sellin’ out souls to win the race.
Talkin’ change, but the change don’t come,
All them promises beat like drum—
Bam-bam, lie for lie,
Watch them climb while the poor man cry.
Same old game, same old face,
Sellin’ out souls to win the race.
(Bridge)
Democracy sleep in a lobbyist bed,
Truth get gagged and justice dead.
Freedom for sale, the rich man buy,
While the youthman dream just fade and die.
(Verse 2)
They wave dem flag, beat dem drum,
Say “unity,” but divide we come.
Tax the sweat from the workin’ hand,
Feeding greed across the land.
The puppet dance, the master grin,
System rigged — the house still win.
They’ll crawl, they’ll claw, they’ll cheat, they’ll lie,
Just to cross that finish line.
(Chorus)
Same old game, same old face,
Sellin’ out souls to win the race.
Talkin’ peace, but the guns still blaze,
People starve while the leaders praise.
Same old game, same old crime,
Runnin’ this show since the start of time.Oh yeah, same old story…
Different suit, same category.
Babylon smile while the people fall,
No justice, no peace at all.
Oh yeah…
Same old game, same old lie—
And the people still askin’ why.
