With my face smashed against the concrete  I kinda find it hard to speak  The inevitable freedom of oppression  And I stay down    Kneel down to our masters  That left us to die  We'll get our taste of freedom  Licking the pavement clean    Obey the truth or suffer the consequence  Smilling face with teeth kicked in  We nod and we move along  We nod as we sing along    Kneel down to our gods  That left us to die  We'll get our taste of freedom  Licking the pavement clean    Give praise to our opportunities  Give thanx with our hands tied  We laugh when patted on the back  And then we died    And I still believe every word - And all the great heroes  And I still believe every word - And all the grand promises  And I still believe every word - And all the stunning progress  And I still believe every word - And still I stay down    I have nothing  So I get my head kicked in  Won't make a sound  Thanx again
