Track 11 from 'The New Game' set to hit stores Nov 18th.

Played yesterday on Rockline Radio http://www.rocklineradio.com/replay/replay.php

Lyrics:

I thought we the people had a brain
I thought we the people had a say
Coulda sworn i read it somewhere
Thought I'd seen it on a bumper sticker
I thought we the people had a right
i guess we the people were wrong
We the people always are
Let's go elect another God
The laws they make
I don't give a damn anyway
Rules are made to break to bend to beat to buy
The American dream
Or a bag of magic beans
You can find it on the TV
Whaever you need
Send me your tired your poor and broken
Send me your life so I can break you
We the people can have a plan
We the people can make a stand
Coulda sworn i read it somewhere
Might've seen it in the funny papers
Your money's made to take
To cheat to steal to rob
I can sell you a dream
Fat's bustin' at the seams
You can get it on the TV
Whatever you need
Send me your tired, your poor and broken
Send me your life, so i can break you
Give me your trust, your faith and wishes
Give me your life, So i can own you
Control you
Own Buy Sell Out
Own Buy Sell Out
Everyday there's something new to try
Everyday there's something new to buy
Everyday there's a new American dream
Goin' broke in the land of opportunity
Send me your tired, your poor and broken
Send me your life, so I can break you
Give me your trust, your faith and wishes
Give me your life, so I can own you
Control you

  • BTW we the people do have a voice we the people can make a difference. But some things are out of our control. Like the government and what they do thats evil. I think thats what this song is about. They just don't buy what American as a country is trying to sell and Chad refuses to swallow it whole. But I doubt hes going broke in the land of opportunity. That guys probably RICH! Anyways this song rocks this album kicks ass! Good shit!

  • After all we are all human I think even mudvayne would agree with that.

  • Because of this he liived his whole life in conflict. Between being the "REAL NIGGA" and what his heart told him that he knew was right and wrong. This is why his thug like side was mixed with trouble violence and anger. Only blind anger can shut down a persons mind and the ability to reason. You shouldn't waste or destroy your mind. Its the best thing you have. But everyone has problems and they're own struggles so we shouldn't judge them for it. Rather try to understand your brothers.

  • I think its sad to see what a person can believe because of hate. Even sadder what it can do to a persons life. Even more sad that they believe ugly falsehoods about themselves and they're race. Tupac did this. Don't get me wrong I love his music. But in an interview he said Im gonna buy a benz cause thats what niggas do. Im gonna smoke weed cause thats what niggas do. Im gonna get drunk cause thats what niggas do. He felt like he had to b REAL. What about being yourself?

  • @Jamora Hell I've even seen black people act racist towards they're own family members and treat them like shit because they are light skinned. Hate is hate. If your full of hate you will do anything including make up a bunch of excuses for yourself to make it seem right. Thats the definition of a hypocrite and anyone can do that. Hell you can steriotype yourself. Lets say your Irish you could believe the old saying that they are all drunks! Its bullshit tho. NOT TRUE

  • @abssyldemon my best impression of you... Im not racist you American pig! I hate all races. Because thats what America is. A hudge mix of all races. DUMB. Yeah they are black but they are human beings. So just call them male or female. I don't like being called white or black or yellow. But todays culture has taught young adults, black white asian whatever. That what up my nigga? Is an exceptable form of communication between friends. So if you want to blame anyone blame rap music.

  • A CAN RALLY? LOL

  • they call it the american dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it
