You fill the ballot out and drop it in the slot to cast your vote
You hope the guy who gets elected reads the letters that you wrote
He gets in office and he promises to represent your voice
You think the system works because most people agreed with your choice
But then big players with big checkbook attend meetings with your man
They funded his campaign and now they're wanting him to change the plan
The special interests of the giants get written into the bill
And now we watch our rights get taken away by Capitol Hill
Welcome to State-controlled nation, in Dystopia
You don't get representation, in Dystopia
The law gets passed and this is not what the majority desired
One by one, they take your rights away, every time this transpires
Take your money then they spend it on things that you don't agree
They take your guns away and then build more for their military
They took your privacy, it's legal for the government to spy
They started PRISM, NSA, the CIA, and FBI
They take your money from your bank account if you don't pay their tax
Did we vote on that? I'd like to know how that slipped through all the cracks
