Hegemony

from Syzygy by Dexter

/

lyrics

They say we’re lucky in the land of the free
With peace and equal opportunity, yeah
And we’re all living the American dream
With everything exactly just as it seems

Saturated with these little white lies
One distracts one pulls the wool over our eyes
What would it take to make the populace see, to
Trouble this hegemony

Say, who’s behind this economic decline?
They tell the public that we’re doing just fine, yeah
The rich get richer while the poorer stay poor
Exactly how much more will people endure

What they don’t tell you is it’s par for the course
A planned dynamic, it’s a real tour de force
You’ll never hear it from the powers that be to
Trouble this hegemony

There doesn’t seem to be a reason or rhyme
To subvert prevailing paradigms
You’ve got to act yourself, ‘cause baby you’re free to
Trouble this hegemony
