Type the lyrics exactly as you'd like them to appear on the website:

It's a system for the people but we have no say 
It's a system where the people just get pushed away 
For a profit, they gentrify our land 
And the police enforce their will with an iron hand 
We were born into the system -- we had no choice 
But we can stand as one people -- with one loud voice 
They exploit our labor -- For their own greed 
We've got to fight them back -- For the things we need 
More people have died of AIDS than in the Vietnam War 
By the time they fund research it'll be ten times more 
They spend ten billion on a bomber that doesn't fly 
While the homeless and the poor just starve and die 
Their power comes from us -- We take it away 
We can't afford to wait -- It's got to be today 
The power is within us -- We can do as we please 
Far better that we die on our feet 
Than we live on our knees 
Every generation had their chance and now it's our turn 
We've seen their mistakes and I hope we've learned 
We've got to make a better world at any cost 
Or the next generation will be just as lost
