Ashes to ashes,
dust to dust,
what you see now has been laden with rust,
you hear that sound as the gears begin to bust?
that's our past saying that "change is a must."

The system is failing,
every component, ailing,
they try to hide the wailing,
but we see system is failing.

Giants abound once made their rounds,
they unleashed the hounds,
we made no sound,
they purposely confound,
to keep us underground,
tighter we become bound,
just to keep them fat and round.

The system is failing,
every component, ailing,
they try to hide the wailing,
but we see the system is failing.

They take our blood,
put us on systems like HUD,
they push our faces in the mud,
to keep us simple, like Elmer Fud.

Fight for your rights,
we're all in a blight,
they're in our sights,
it's time we bite.

The system is failing,
every component, ailing,
they try to hide the wailing,
but we see the system failing.

The past is the past,
the future is now,
we must be steadfast,
it's time to stand our ground.
