Protest The Hero
Lyrics for Song: Red Stars Over the Battle of the Cowshed
Lyrics for Album: A Calculated Use Of Sound [2001]
I declare a war, a fight for freedom against any system that's built to
Consume our power and maintained to divide our energy. A system where
An honest person can sweat for hours and then play slave to the man in
the television tower. A system where private ownership erases public
Healthcare because dollars are worth more than people; dollars are worth
More than sense. Dollars are worth more than a worker in need, more
Than John and Jane Doe with a family to feed. Yes, I want to topple this
System held in place by financial greed where wealth is made through
Ownership and social hierarchy. Because it's a one-way street through a
Faceless crowd; bar-codes and back-lit billboards show us, guide us,
Teach us how to earn our rank, divide the rich and poor,
Pit us against ourselves, compiling and burning corpse of class war.
But we are the workers, the majority, and this system fears solidarity.
So I declare a war on everything they're for because
"Oh what force on earth is greater than the mighty strength of one".
