The House Always Wins
Stray from the Path Lyrics

Break, motherfucker - yo, they're making you an offer you can't refuse
They are enticing you with an offer that is difficult to turn down

Break, motherfucker - yeah, you bet against the house and you're gonna lose
You have taken a risky bet against those in power, and you will inevitably lose

Break, motherfucker - we're all fucked, no matter who we choose
Regardless of who we elect or support, we are all doomed and powerless against those who hold the true power

Yeah break, motherfucker - yeah you bet against the house And you're gonna lose
You made a risky bet against those in power, and you are guaranteed to lose

Bare witness - yo, business is business
Understand that in the real world, people act with their own self-interest when it comes to power dynamics

A two-faced coin either side there's no difference
No matter which side of the political spectrum you look at, there is no real difference in who holds power and what they stand for

Who can you buy to tell a lie? This shit is vicious
People in power are willing to lie and deceive for their own gain, and it is difficult to find anyone honest in this corrupt system

The deck is rigged, don't call 'em out - they keep a hit list
The system is rigged to favor those in power, and those who stand up against them are targeted and punished

Two sides polarized, social suicide
The political spectrum creates social divisions that harm everyone, regardless of which side they are on

Homegrown invasion to enslave the nation, but you decide
Those in power aim to keep the population under control through subtly oppressive means, but the individual has a choice whether or not they want to accept this reality

Burn the ballots sweep 'em under the rug
Elections are not a true representation of the people's voice, and the powerful have the ability to manipulate or ignore the results to maintain their control

Who's your leader? Trick question - none of the above
Those in power do not care about the will of the people, and their true leader is themselves and their own self-interest

You think the war room is any different now
Even in the most serious situations, people in power act with their own self-interest and personal gain

You dumb enough to think that it's another system now?
Do not be foolish enough to believe that the current system is different from its historically corrupt roots

You livin' in another prison now
Despite a change in political leadership or rhetoric, individuals are still trapped in the oppressive system with little power over their lives

Different warden but you in the same position now
Those in power may change, but the oppressed remain in the same position of powerlessness and lack of control

You think both party leaders ain't livin' foul?
Both political parties are corrupt and act in ways that benefit themselves instead of the people they claim to represent

A hundred thousand troops is on another mission now
The military and those in power constantly shift their focus and actions, often without regard for the true interests of the people

The deep pockets of corporate wealth is shiftin' now
The wealthy have the power to influence and shift political events, often at the cost of the people who are oppressed by their actions

You think that fundamental change is a decision now?
The system is so structurally ingrained that true, meaningful change is not a simple matter of decision-making

The taxpayer-funded travel is the same
Those in power continue to use taxpayer money for their own personal gain instead of using it to help their constituents

The disaster that we call foreign policy is the same
Foreign policy is often misguided and ends up causing more harm than good, but those in power continue to act without regard for the people or the consequences

Executive order is still the same
The power dynamics and actions of those in charge remain the same, regardless of any executive orders or official policies

Homeland security and borders is the same
The oppressive forces that control borders and security remain the same, causing harm and discrimination to those who are not in power

Somebody need to take a shot at the machine
Those in power who uphold the oppressive system need to be challenged and overthrown for true change to occur

Learn to fix ya own mess and not intervene
Instead of relying on those in power and the system to create change, individuals need to empower themselves and take action for change to occur

The blind lead the blind, vision at stake
Those who are powerless and oppressed often follow the lead of the powerful, despite the fact that it harms their own interests or well-being

How you left these mufuckas with decisions to make?
Those in power are not truly concerned with the well-being or interests of the people, and it is up to individuals to take action and create change themselves

You wanna keep 'em silent, but the people wanna riot
Those in power want to maintain control over the population by keeping them docile and submissive, but individuals are starting to realize the oppressive nature of the system and are starting to revolt

You try to keep 'em silent, but we wanna fucking riot
Those in power try to suppress dissent and control the population, but individuals are starting to push back and seek true change through direct action and protests
