Empires

And as much as you try, there's always a wall
Staying optimistic until the fall
Cheatin' and lyin', denying
Hoping that one day, we all just get along
But sometimes we all realize that some people sleep fine at night
While they're killing and stealing from us all
So what's the solution?
Is it armed revolution?
Or a simple change in wealth distribution?

Well, I don't know
I'm dumb as they go
But the world has gotten so cold

Killing the people who want to live simple
And they say they're protecting us, ya know
The Koch brothers' ways are corrupting today
And they're paying for a war on us all
Here come the Waltons to shut down the unions
With John Mackey's book on conscious capitalism
So dollars it seems are good for few things
Like oppressing the people and building the bombs
They say killing some is necessary
To keep peace in the world and while I agree
All the terrorists that I see
Are wearing suits protecting empires with laws

Well, I don't know
I'm dumb as they go
But the world has gotten so cold
