Camouflage

most of the time
we look in each others eyes
what's defined in our lives
the pennies and the dimes

working hard at my nine to five
the headlines don't die
unemployment's on the rise

same mistakes, lessons learned
banks just take, money earned

feeling sorry for the poor
never mind just give me more

never taking it for granted
plane just landed, flying first class
businessman is a bandit
stealing from the people sitting back in the economy
salesmen bother me, wall streets infected
the swine flu treatment injected
but there's not enough to go around
so i left it, just like a liberal
situation's critical
the globe's getting older
the fuel struck gold, but the trucks stay stuck along the shoulder
so we carbonate the air that we breathe
reverse the deed, they take away the house that i need
please can you lower the fee
looking up at the man he but ain't looking at me
poor men dona019t stand in the land of the free
they live it up but at who's expense
paid vacations, wondering why the nation's getting a little too tense

can you see what the problem is, it's selfishness
if you read between the lines, look close and rarely you'll find
you'll find the answer
we all got to move a bit faster
before this all spreads like cancer
then after, we can all live much better

they act like they don't know
they don't know (x2)
everything is camouflage
camouflage (x2)
we can all live much better
just by working together
forget the bad weather
we can be the lever
need a change for forever
if you know it's time
look beyond your pride inside

they act like they don't know
they don't know (x2)
everything is camouflage
camouflage (x2)


so who's the one to blame
in this day and age
i can't pay for schools like NYU
but i got the grades
and it's a shame that they play with stats
the only way to get accepted is to pay with cash
and that's the facts time to put it in the past
i could pass any class if i was given the chance
time to close the gap
lower the tuition
alternate the focus and the vision
please listen

they act like they don't know
they don't know (x2)
everything is camouflage
camouflage (x2)

can you see what the problem is, it's selfishness
if you read between the lines, look close and rarely you'll find
you'll find the answer
we all gotta move a bit faster
before this all spreads like cancer
then after, we can all live much better

they act like they don't know
they don't know (x2)
everything is camouflage
camouflage (x2)

we can be the lever

they act like they don't know

everything is camouflage
camouflage (x2)
