Again, this is Mulder's frustration at every road he follows turning into a dead end, and his anger at the government that has taken so much away from him and those he loves. He has no choice but live under the system that continues to deny him the things he most wants, and however much he may defy Those in Power, they are always in a position to negate whatever he does. (I think in a different world, Mulder may have been an anarchist.)
We're all victims of the system still we love to place the blame
We're running out of choices and there's no rules to the game
I'm getting tired of feeling this way
What can a single man do, what can he say
Every day you walk the edge of a knife
You're left with nothing at the end of your life
They've got their hands in your pocket
They'll take the clothes off your back
Hands in your pocket
They'll stop you like a heart attack
We put people into power but we fight our wars alone
They take such good care of the rest of the world,
but what about the folks
At home, oh yeah
Point the finger at the man you chose
He'll say he's sorry but it's just the way it goes
He sits in judgment like a king on a throne
'Till that November when he'll beg for a bone
They've got their hands in your pocket
They'll take the clothes off your back
Hands in your pocket
Brother, don't ignore the facts
Every day you walk the edge of a knife
You're left with nothing at the end of your life
They've got their hands in your pocket
They'll take the clothes off your back
Hands in your pocket
They'll stop you like a heart attack
