[Start] [Verse] G Ab7 ■ I am not Republican I am not a Liberal Cm Why the hell can't I just be American without getting political Eb The system gon' suppress us all they don't care about the cost Fm How's this a democracy when we got communists in charge Ab Abmaj7 Cancel culture Nazis all they're missing is the swastikas Cm Honestly this is a psychological holocaust G7 Pumpin' propaganda through the screen and straight into your brain Ab You ain't on a plantation but you definitely still a slave Ab Race theory is indoctrinating children Cm Tell blacks they're disadvantaged tell whites they got white privilege Eb What a brilliant way to reinforce division Fm If whites believe they have it easy they will never help you fight the system Ab And now they burnin' books in untraditional ways Cm They just traded newspapers for the digital age Bb Now the facts can be deleted with no physical flames G They just change the information and the truth gets erased [Chorus] Ab Cm They keep screamin' to wake up but they're all woke not awake Eb Fm We know the system has failed us and all the media's fake Ab Cm I swear the government hates us having opinions is dangerous Gm The system built to enslave us only works if we're afraid [Verse] Ab I am not Republican I am not a Liberal Cm Progressive and traditional are hitmen hired to kill the individual Eb They label people red or blue divide us they don't ever help Fm They want you thinkin' left or right so you ain't thinkin' for yourself Ab Go ahead and vote 'cause both the parties are the same side Cm Two teams one coach controlled by the same guys Cm Leftwing rightwing both help the same bird fly G7 Brainwashing everybody at the same time Ab7 The internet was once a place that we could get our facts from Cm But now it's been monopolized it's Google or it's Amazon Eb Who's factchecking the factcheckers I can answer that one Fm The people who control the narratives through the platforms Ab Let me break this down for you simple as I can 'kay Cm They use social conditioning to put you in the rat race Bb It doesn't matter if you're first or third or if you're last place G You're still a rat and they're the cats who kill you so you can't escape [Chorus] Ab Cm They keep screamin' to wake up but they're all woke not awake Eb Fm We know the system has failed us and all the media's fake Ab Cm I swear the government hates us having opinions is dangerous Gm The system built to enslave us only works if we're afraid [Bridge] Ab I am not Republican I am not a Liberal Cm I am just a man who knows they're scared of a nation that's thinking critical Eb They kill us or they lock us up for nothing like we're criminals Fm Divide us 'cause they know that unified we are invincible Ab Questioning the government's agenda's controversial Cm But promoting guns and liquor in our music is commercial Bb They're confusing us with pronouns they made up to make us triggered Bb You can call me what you want but just don't call me late for dinner Ab School teaches you to learn and never teaches you to think Cm So you absorb misinformation then you practice what they preach Eb You ain't free can't you see that's how they want you to act Fm That's called conforming to the norm you don't need freedom for that Ab I'm not Republican or Liberal or leftwing or rightleaning Cm I took the red pills 'cause that's what's fighting for my freedoms Bb And you don't need to choose to be accepted they build fake teams G Cm Evil runs the world now like hell ain't got no vacancy [Chorus] Ab Cm They keep screamin' to wake up but they're all woke not awake Eb Fm We know the system has failed us and all the media's fake Ab Cm I swear the government hates us having opinions is dangerous Gm The system built to enslave us only works if we're afraid [End]
