back to square one - outnumbered lyrics

i heard about the hipsters and the beats
heard about the radicals and the freaks
who broke down the walls to set themselves free
but that’s so long ago it’s ancient history
makes it hard for us who want change to prevail
in knowing that others before us failed
with this monkey climbing all over our backs
so hard to mount a new attack

getting away with everything
at this point it’s all been done
after all this change, the problem’s the same
now we’re back to square one
now we’re back to square one

the promise of freedom, the barriers down
merely brought a whole new set of rules to town
what was once liberating has now turned sour
just think of the people drugs have devoured
so what do you do when every thrill’s been picked clean?
when every frontier’s been tamed by money and greed
when every honest thing you do just fills up somebody’s pocket
there’s a strong temptation to just say f*ck it

getting away with everything
at this point it’s all been done
after all this change, the problem’s the same
now we’re back to square one
now we’re back to square one
there’s a crowd outside with their minds on war
who want to take away the rights so hard*fought for
they’re hysterical in screaming out their fears
they want to turn back the calendar thirty years
here the rest of us stand, divided and splintered
unable to act, our hopes so hindered
this monkey climbing all over our backs
so hard to mount a new attack
a new attack, a new attack, a new attack…
