Scapegoat (Lyrics)

Divided by race divided by wage Paranoia and hatred abound You can't distinguish friends from enemies Much less who's keeping you down And we fight each other over differences Fueled by ignorance and lies Accepting all the injustices That appear in our daily lives But we'd all fall down When the rug's pulled out And it's so hard to get back up When you don't know what it's about And it's so easy For some to be attacked When they don't have the knowledge Or the resources to fight back Workfare won't save the economy Just degrade for a petty wage You know that single mothers aren't looking for handouts Despite what the bastards might say But they're so quick to go on the attack And find somebody to blame Instead of the fuck in a suit Who's salary all the little sheep pay And there stands Billy with a Ballot in his hand He's read all the papers With all the issues he don't understand He ain't got no credit, no references, No skills to be employed And he's living every minute In a world he'd rather destroy But no money ever trickled down Into his bank account And to his knowledge An upper-class tax cut Never really helped him out And it gets hard sometimes For him to find any sign of hope And frustration leads him eventually To accept any scapegoat
