lyrics

You shake his hand and then do a little dance, ain’t nothing much to it
See what they’ve got here is what we dream about, pockets full just a bursting at the seams
Well now, cash is King and gold is God in what’s soon becoming the land of fraud
And no one’s here to stop it, how dare you touch the rich?, you never know when it might be me

It’s a long way to go, climbing from down low
It’s a long way to fall, once you’ve reached the top

Stir the masses with a sound bite or two, and watch them scurry ‘round as you want them to
Give them bits and pieces, scraps to fight for, social issues overshadow theft
YELL we have to sacrifice, so tighten up that belt, a mountain of debt will put us all in last place
Yet all the while you fill them coffers with them stolen funds, let soldiers die taking photos with their wives

They say, close all of it down, what’s your mind even worth
Well now, us thinking free yeah it hurts them where it counts, that’s in them bank accounts
A cut to schools is a suicide at best sending us all from the first to the third
But the money clouds the vision of all those involved, so start a war cut taxes and it’s all been solved
