What's up with what's going down  
in every city, in every town  
cramping styles is the plan  
they've got in the palm of their big hands  

(chorus)  
when we pretend that we're dead  
when we pretend that we're dead  
they can't hear a word we've said  
when we pretend that we're dead  

turn the tables with our unity  
they're neither moral nor majority  
wake up and smell the coffee  
or just say no to individuality  

(chorus)  

c'mon c'mon  

(chorus)
