Lost in our own self image.
What we value will be lost to previous struggles.
Trapped with a knife to our back.
We are taught to swallow these ideologies.
They have no test of time.
We’re getting too familiar with the ghost you portray behind your back.
Open to nothing but emptiness with fake understandings of freedom.
Waste and spend to your hearts content. You forget about the real care; time ill-spent.
Force fed lies aren’t something new, so why do we accept this lust for power?
We’re stuck in thinking about how much we make by the hour.
When did it become acceptable for death to come with greed?
This world just gives us plastic wealth that we’re convinced we need.
You label yourself as the protector of people.
When you have our attention your true face is unseen.
You have us right where you want us.
We’re convinced we need version 2.0.
This world just gives us plastic wealth that we’re convinced we need.
Give us another lie.
We’ll give in to think like a corporate mind.
The tables will turn when we fight back.
Your highrises are spread across the nation.
Sucking wealth from the poor, rising up through inflation.
We’ll watch it all fall when we fight back.
You’ve corrupted your last and they’re bound to fail.
The rest will rebel and they’ll fight tooth and nail.
You best be prepared when we fight back.
