Dan Alex - More Equal Than Others (Chasing Mercy Remix)

[Intro] (Yeah) All power to the people, huh? But who countin’ the votes, though? Listen [Verse 1] I seen pigs in the penthouse, mud on they mind Quote “all of us equal,” but watch how they sign Fine print crooked, little loop in the line They toast to the workers while they sippin’ on our time Manor on the hill turned factory floor We stormed every gate, now we guardin’ the door We traded in whips for executive chairs Same whips on our backs, they just call ‘em affairs Old slogans on the wall, spray paint still drippin’ “Share in the harvest” but the scale stay slippin’ Napoleons on screens point, barkin’ demands Boxers in the warehouse break backs for the brand We chant for a change, get a change in the font They tweakin’ the commandment, not the thing that we want Erase one line, add a clause for the bosses Same plantation, just brochure glosses Dogs in uniforms, patrollin’ the block They don’t know why they bite, they just follow the clock Scroll feed say feed ‘em, algorithm my priest But the trough made of trauma, every post is a feast Mollycoddled cliques in couture with a cause Sign a hashtag pledge, then applaud they own applause They riding in a car we helped build from the dust Engine run on our hope, but they tell us “just trust” [Chorus] Everybody equal in the big loud chorus But some more equal when the door slam on us Same farm, same field, just a different office They toast upstairs while they talkin’ “promise” Everybody equal on the bright, bold poster But some more equal when the shift is over We pull that plow, they just move that border Same old story in a crisp new order [Verse 2] Revolution on discount, sale ends soon Pitchfork emojis in a comment room We brung down Jones, paid blood, paid dues Now the same fine shoes just change whose feet use Prophets on podiums, pockets on fat Speak for the poor while they bill for the chat They hold up a mirror but it cropped to they face Big talk “for the people” from a private space Boxer said “I’ll work harder,” broke, then bled Now it’s “grind, no sleep” till you shred your head They sellin’ that hustle as a holy grail Then ship your tired body in a quiet sale Clover in the corner, eyes red from the tears She remember the first song, the innocent years Look back at the barn wall, letters rearranged Same three words left: “obey, accept, change” We trade in our chains for a brand new tag Call it “choice” when we carry the invisible bag They measure our worth by what we can buy Then lend us our wages at a markup high Squealer with a suit, got a data report Twistin’ every chart into moral support “Look how good you got it, better than before” While they build a private staircase behind the door Even in the classroom, even in the pew They preachin’ that “anybody” can sit where they do But the map to the table got tolls and turns You only see the ladder when the bridge gets burned [Chorus] Everybody equal in the big loud chorus But some more equal when the door slam on us Same farm, same field, just a different office They toast upstairs while they talkin’ “promise” Everybody equal on the bright, bold poster But some more equal when the shift is over We pull that plow, they just move that border Same old story in a crisp new order [Bridge] (Hands up) for the clause they erased (Heads down) for the truth they replaced If all of us matter in the lines they pen Why we read that rule and get locked out again? (Hands up) if you still remember When the fire felt warm in the cold December When “we” meant “we,” not a brand, not a cover Before “equal” came chained to [Chorus] Everybody equal in the big loud chorus But some more equal when the door slam on us Same farm, same field, just a different office They toast upstairs while they talkin’ “promise” Everybody equal on the bright, bold poster But some more equal when the shift is over We pull that plow, they just move that border Same old story in a crisp new order [outro[ Yo everybody's Equal But some more equal than others The World is one big animal farm Ran by Nepoleons everywhere
