[Intro]
A murderous mind, born into a murderous time
Where right or wrong is a blurred line, hard to define
For greed has poisoned the well
We all drink from the chalice
It’s a long way down into the rabbit hole, Alice
[Verse 1]
Now I crucify your culture, burn down the altar
Religion of consumerism picks us off like vultures
And takes us for punks, they say jump and we jump
It's the same if it's Bush or Obama or Trump
I’m not buying into a one-two-three party system
I rise against ‘em
Illusions of choice steal our voice, so take back your rigged election
System deficit, represent nobody but your money, funny?
How you keep 'em sweet, honey? Shepherd and the sheep, dummy
Some day they’ll find a way to sell my views
Just like they sold the concept of freedom to you
They sell the voice of Huxley, of Orwell, Guevara, Dalai Lama
Now they’re all just a product to you
[Verse 2]
And now you care more about your new shoes than loose screws In minds of politicians that abuse truths to shape you and break you
Consumerism rapes you until your thoughts they ain't you
They make you wanna hate you, so you keep buying, buying, buying
Corporation frying, defying fraudulent liars and burning empires, tap into the telephone wires
And history's biased, it glorifies and justifies our evil
It justifies the wars that rain destruction upon people
(Every single human born equal)
They treat you like an asset, not a human; man, it's see through
Slavery through debt, you think that mortgage is to help you?
The bills stacking high, killing dreams, money maimes you
The lion tames you
[Interlude]
The land of the free... irony
A hierarchy false education kills the fire in me
But, still I stand strong like two towers
That were knocked down by greedy men's thirst for power
[Bridge]
And now, greed...
Greed plants the seed that will destroy us all if we succumb to greed
Fuck greed
Silent I breathe
Burn money
Greed makes us bleed, makes us bleed, makes us bleed
[Verse 3]
Our political system is a farce
Democracy will not exist until actions speak louder than money
Wealth is a poisoned honey
Another money-making holiday for the Easter Bunny
Adverts suck out your soul, drink Coca-Cola
Lining up the pockets of the fat control
Selling fear to people, let it spread like Ebola
Propaganda machine, American Dream, it's hopeless
"Nikola Tesla, 1883
The DC current system fought against the AC
But not because the AC system wasn't any better
'Cause people don't like change, when money's at the center"
[Outro]
Move! Let me enter, from the epicenter
Poison parliament, ah, who’s the main contender?
Oh, it's you, Mr. President?
Evident that the counter intelligence is a hell of a prevalent
