[Verse 1]
The system has failed, and you have failed with it
No time to care. Just time to say, "Who gives a shit?"

I break down the walls of the political arena
Cast the vote on FN-FAL, yeah, we'll be seeing ya
[Verse 2]
Come on, y'all
Yeah!
I want
To put a cap right in your asshole
You step to this
You're gonna pass for
A lump of dogshit in the grass, now
Be on your way and get some class

[Break]
Man, you're like a school in the summer
No class!
[Verse 3]

Chop down the big-wigs
Shoot the telelvisions, too!
My mind boils in life
As I've decided I'm through

From you and the me
[Outro]
Sit back and do nothing
If that's what you want to do
I will have my reign as king
When I take vengeance on you
