[00:00.000]
[00:15.276] Life lived with blinders on
[00:18.870] Only looking out for number one
[00:22.387] Radio’s skewed to his point of view
[00:25.778] Of the good old days when the good ol’ boys ruled
[00:29.415]
[00:29.587] Winter came, the workplace changed
[00:33.273] They’re not allowed to pontificate
[00:36.728] Hate speech used to be “shootin’ the shit”
[00:40.240] ’Til the snowflakes covered their bully pulpit
[00:43.878]
[00:45.615] Trapped in the ignorance
[00:49.332] We’re living in our own prison system
[00:53.059] Walls up, keep the wolves at bay
[01:01.671] barricades, barricades
[01:07.559]
[01:27.584] White flight, a new estate
[01:30.426] They gotta keep their little princess safe
[01:34.056] Up in the hills with a long commute
[01:37.540] No boogeyman to ruin their gorgeous purview
[01:41.317]
[01:42.221] Round the clock surveillance
[01:45.311] Keep an eye on seedy elements
[01:48.819] You built a fortress to keep us out
[01:52.072] Could you ever be convinced that it’s keeping you in?
[01:55.889]
[01:56.461] Tear down entitlement
[02:01.019] Superiority’s a prison complex
[02:05.127] Privilege was cooked up by the rich — oh, prisoner
[02:12.645]
[02:13.213] Been a long time on the inside
[02:16.319] Been a long time locked in our own minds
[02:20.112] This is denial, this is our bliss, to live as prisoners
[02:27.888] Been a long time on the inside
[02:31.732] Been a long time locked in our own minds
[02:35.227] This is denial, this is our bliss, to live —
[02:39.202] I don’t know how to break out
[02:42.060]
[02:42.204] I was a middle class kid from the middle west
[02:45.737] I was the quintessential, sheltered innocent
[02:49.243] I didn’t know what segregation meant —
[02:52.821] I didn’t have to know — the world I knew
[02:56.028] Was white as snow
[02:57.275] And so I look back now at these severed towns
[03:00.594] All the hate they spread, simply not spreading out
[03:04.179] **** this denial, **** their ignorant bliss
[03:08.783]
