Man I'm out here living
Tryna make it day to day
Keeping my head down to the plow
Grinding for a meager pay
Little money to feed my babies
Inflation just keep on rising
War raging all over the land
Somehow I keep on smiling
Cuz my vote counts
And my life matters
I'm a stretch this little check
My boss pockets getting fatter
But I still got hope
The hope of fools
We'll do the right thing this time
So everybody be cool
Now there's blood on the streets
Burn baby burn
Mamas an addict
Sister's gone manic
And crazy Joe's gotta gun
But the suns shining down on me
And I oughta be grateful
Cuz I still got breath in my body
But to breathe sure is painful
Cuz my vote didn't count
And my life didn't matter
While I'm out here starving
Big cat's getting fatter
But I still got hope
The hope of fools
We'll get it right the next time y'all
So everybody stay cool
Telling me what I wanna hear
To keep me tied to your string
I heard you promising the moon and stars
But those words don't mean a thing
Got a guy with the purest heart
And a real plan for the nation
Till he takes a bite of the poisoned fruit
And sells out to the corporations
But I still got hope
The hope of fools
We're gonna take our stand
And bring down the man
So everybody we cool
The hope of fools
