Rainbows

Sequential digits assigned to
Every widget that we consume
On the list: lemonade, chemicals, bicycles, trash barrels
Scratch off the labels they’re not necessary
They’re just something you’re so accustomed to hearing
Categorization leads to division
Branded
Reprimanded by the hand
Failure to abide by all the rules
Leaves the victim poor, barcode bruise
Oh, money flows and it goes and it goes and it goes and it goes…
Ebony stripes on white
Under the stars and stripes
Can’t identify what’s wrong and what’s right
Pick a side, realize
It’s never lived up to its word
It’s absurd to say this system ever worked
Zip ties
Tied down
Stigmatized
Screw both sides
Failure to abide by all the rules
Leaves the victim poor, barcode bruise
(Bridge)
Money flows and it grows in you
And it flows right through
Money flows
End it
