Lyrics Broken System - Mr Streetz

Yeah
Some real shit
Let me find an empty page
I just got to get this off my chest
Ok
If I don't get this off my chest it'll eat up inside me

I woke up to the news that the queen died
And it's the death of an era too
It's a death of all that she symbolised
Yeah the good and the bad things too
Was the figurehead of all the nation
70 years and with so much done
Tradition and love for the country
Fuelled all the great things that we've done
But there's another side of that coin though
And only one side has her face
And that's cos she turns a blind eye
To the awful shit that happens in her place
It's schemed in elitist circles
And her son is the worst of them
All the settlements out of court with the blackmail,
Hush money and the rest
How many people did Epstein know?
How many people abused with him
Was it royalty, was it politicians?
We'll search for it but the proof is dim
Cos he was put down by the ones we trust
The ones we vote in, they end up hush
Cos they don't want their actions exposed
With enough cash all of the trails go cold
So the justice system fails us
Cos of money and status use
We all know the elites can hide things
But we're powerless in pursuit
In the dark
It's that timeless hierarchy
Where no matter who we vote in, they don't rule
It's elites who can kill and maim and it's cool
The shroud of democracy
Yeah we think we're choosing but we just aren't
Getting influenced by the media
Voting because of those seeds they plant
But the other side isn't better
Elites still roam free in Havana
It's like how can we take advice
From the same people that killed Diana

All our life they're portrayed as the good guys
Like there's a line between good and bad
But when exposed for the real shit that they're done,
They brand the people as mad
Iraq and Afghanistan
Where they killed children and they didn't speak
Now they're trying to execute the man
Who exposed them in Wiki Leaks
But nobody says a word, you can't do fuck all without no power
Controlled opposition, sure,
But they're all people they know are cowards
So down with the systems built
To oppress the people without consent
Or maybe they do care
But we wouldn't know cos it's all pretend
So sort out the truth from lies
It's hard these days when they know our minds
When we're all engrossed in our phones,
They're watching all our steps online
So they know how to market things we don't want
They take our data then sell it on
Now elections are done through who's got what
The most data is who wins the spot
They polarise us on social apps
Swing vote targets are key for that
Yeah they hear what we're saying when we're not on our phones
Target posts so we change our vote
It's an echo chamber now, validation
For things they made us think
They can cover up scandals posting debates online
So our minds can be all in sync
Now that's what it is
Yeah they think we forgot about partygate
They locked us down but all went outside
And had drinks on the soil where their people died

Shh, speak out if you dare
Get de-platformed, say your prayers
When we were locked up in our own homes
They were out partying because they didn't care
Couldn't say a word
On YouTube and Instagram, they all banned that word
Covid, it's hush cos the people were dying
But the companies profiting were doing just fine
Fuck
The fat cats with their wine made deals
So that they could go wine and dine
On the meat of the poor who had lost their livelihoods
Now we can all open our eyes
Cos they profit off pain so they bring that to us
Rather hook us on drugs than the natural stuff
What happened to breathing and eating the stuff
That would help us survive not hasten the cut
Yeah they hook us on sugar and they hook us on drink
On caffeine and alcohol, pushed to the brink
So they give us more drugs and we pay for them
And it's not just cash, no we pay with strength
And we're weak suddenly but that's no surprise
To the cats that were preying on our quick demise
So we're sitting on our arse and we can't go rise
'Gainst the regime built on abuse and lies
So don't listen to the news that is funded by
Politicians with something to gain
Off of demonising of the ones in pain
On the streets
Hustling so that they can get the ps to feed
Families but that's not what you're made to believe
No, look at all the front page news you see
Like 'someone got stabbed in carni'
And then people will think it's a violent place
But 2 milli people were there that day
And they spread good vibes, but that's not what pays
It's a fucked up way how they exploit racism to this day
By making out trappers as the enemy to watch,
They can take away from governments who made em that way
Ah
Pushed to selling drugs and then taking them
Then they get more years than a pedophile
Who's been friends with police and is paying them
Shit
So protect yourself from the govs
You can't beat corruption so build your wealth
And protect all the ones you love
It's not pessimistic, it's freedom
I'm aware of the shit they've done
So I guard myself from the devil's touch
That permeates in the world they run
