[Verse 1]
Single-file line to say the pledge allegiance
For illusionary freedom
A gold star for your achievements keep you blind
They'll sell you on American dreams
But you have to be asleep
If you wanna believe it's not a lie
[Pre-Chorus]
It's your fault you're so depressed
Up your meds and do your best
Suck it up and hold your breath
Work 'til your dead
Punch the clock, cash the check
[Chorus]
Ooh
Keep your head down and follow the rules
Get a job and stay the fuck in school
If that's all we gotta do
Then come and talk the talk
And I'll let you takе a walk in bloody shoes
[Verse 2]
If we're all just cannon foddеr
Why the fuck we drinkin' water?
Take your Adderall with coffee
Just to spike our cortisol
We're overstimulated, underpaid, and not appreciated
Guess I really fuckin' made it
God bless the USA
[Pre-Chorus]
Thoughts and prayers won't save us here
So save your tears
[Chorus]
Ooh
Keep your head down and follow the rules
Get a job and stay the fuck in school
If that's all we gotta do
Then come and talk the talk
And I'll let you take a walk in bloody shoes
[Bridge]
We did what you told us to do
We took all the tests
And followed all the rules
Raise your hand, shut your mouth
Be a man, quiet down
There's no sun underground
And you can't take your money with you
[Chorus]
Ooh
Keep your head down and follow the rules
Get a job and stay the fuck in school
If that's all we gotta do
Then come and talk the talk
And I'll let you take a walk in bloody shoes
[Chorus]
Ooh
Keep your head down and follow the rules
Get a job and stay the fuck in school
If that's all we gotta do
Then come and talk the talk
And I'll let you take a walk in bloody shoes
