“Fortune 500” is a song narrated by a character who has committed an act of terrorism, killing the Queen of England, apparently motivated by rage at the wealthy and powerful. The act is spurred on by the narrator’s leaders, who may or may not be figments of his imagination.
Speaking to The Line of...
[Verse 1]
I'm at the gates, I'm climbing over the wall
To trepan the Queen and burn the dogs in the hall
A trail of destruction, but at least it's a trail
I am compelled to take you by the throat
They sing in my ears and make me feel like I'm loved
I don't want this, I never spoke up enough
Think of the people that I'm doing it for
I know the ways that I have been a slave
I've done the things that I was here to do
My twin, my twin, my dragon twin goes hard
[Verse 2]
So ring the alarm, I'm in the palace garage
Fortune 500 like the back of my hand
I know I'm only living half of a life
They said that I should do this for my sons
So is this the lot or should I take out the king?
The queen of my island, just an animal thing
Limp as a doily flapping blood in the wings
They speak in ways I do not understand
They know I've come to isolate the mouths
[Refrain]
I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won
[Verse 3]
Fortune 500 like the back of my hand
Fortune 500 like whatever you ask
I know the ways that I have been a slave
(I know the ways that I have been a slave)
I've done the things that I was here to do
(I've done the things that I was here to do)
I am compelled to take you by the throat
(I am compelled to take you by the throat)
They speak in ways I do not understand
(They speak in ways I do not understand)
[Outro]
I've won, I've won, they told me that I've won

This appears to be a mistake made on the part of Spotify, as the real song title is indeed “Fortune 500”. The track “We Sleep In Pairs” is also given the incorrect title of “We Sleep in Paris”. Neither of these are related to the actual songs at all.
