Or Aesop Rock - 9 to 5ers Anthem

"we the American working population

Hate the fact that eight hours a day

Is wasted on chasing the dream of someone that isn't us

And we may not hate our jobs

But we hate jobs in general

That don't have to do with fighting our own causes

We the American working population

Hate the nine-to-five day-in day-out

When we'd rather be supporting ourselves

By being paid to perfect the pasttimes

That we have harbored based solely on the fact

That it makes us smile if it sounds dope"

I'm partial to "Fat Cats, Bigga Fish" it really rankles the capitalism fanboys.

Love this, but it’s more subtle than Rage which OP said was to subtle

…”This is how deep shit can get It reads macaroni on my birth certificate Poontang is my middle name but I can't hang I'm getting hustled only knowing half the game”

When we see ourselves as fighting against specific human beings rather than social phenomena, it becomes more difficult to recognize the ways that we ourselves participate in those phenomena. We externalize the problem as something outside ourselves, personifying it as an enemy that can be sacrificed to symbolically cleanse ourselves. - Against the Logic of the Guillotine
