Power Privilege Wealth lyrics
This is a country built upon the system of white
supremacy where the subjugation of people of color is
justified "because it helps the economy". This
exploitation has been deemed "necessary" exposing
inherent racism in American ideology. "Progress" made
doesn't benefit everybody, only the privileged, not the
marginalized communities. Our civilzation requires many
to sacrifice against their own will, nothing in it for
them. How can you justify, defend a country that weiws
people as merely means to an end? Native American
reservations used as nuclear testing sites. Irreversible
damage to their land, their health, their lives. Clothes
sold in the US made by womyn in Mexico in factoris where
humyn rights are negligble. Just like when African slaves
were called less-than-humyn so whites wouldn't feel
guilty about abusing them. America still uses the
mentality that it's ok to oppress nations and people of
color for its own gain. To maintain privilege, power, and
wealth it depends on keeping others down. The government
doesn't care about you. To stay ahead in this world,
there's nothing it won't do.
