Kept In Check

Listen,

we won't give up on our freedom

Even as we're beaten to submission

Even as they want achievements on their terms

Rulings to be followed to the letter

What a joke,

it's to chaotic

There's no control

It's so chaotic

We reject their law

They've paid for these things before

And still nothing's different

They've paid for these things before

And still nothing's different

Pity we don't qualify as equal

Pity we're not worthy of the same rights

Even as humiliation keeps us down

Honor makes us want a better life

What a joke,

it's so chaotic

There's no control

It's so chaotic

We reject their law

They've paid for these things before

And still nothing's different

They've paid for these things before

Nothing's different,

not at all

We're desperate and lost,

helpless

And they want respect from us,

helpless

As we're kept in check,

helpless

We're kept in a living death,

helpless
