In these "great" times They say that you can do anything Make it sound like You can have it all But that ain't true Wake up to what's been happening They're stealing from this world They're stealing from you
Naked and bleeding You're down on your knees Naked and bleeding You'll never be free Naked and bleeding With your back to the wall Naked and bleeding You got nothing at all
In these dark times They want your dignity Used and abused Your life ain't what it ought to be And when they tell you "You gotta tighten your belt" You know the hunger you're suffering Is one that they ain't felt They take the day - and turn it into night They take your hope and give you nothing but lies You gotta sweat - you gotta stay in line Or try and change it - stand and fight
Naked and bleeding...
As time goes on It never stops You never get what you deserve You never get what you need There's always someone looking down Always someone at the top Screwing around with your life Screwing up your life
Running the world - tearing it down One day there'll be nothing left - do you give a damn? Are you gonna stand - Or stay in line? Are you gonna stand? Stand and fight...
