Profit over people as our planet burns. Cast doubt deflect delay every push for change They tell us we’re powerless. It’s true so long as we remain afraid. So long as we believe in the lies, our sons will not see their golden years. We’ll be at fault Daughters with no hope of silver hair; Sons with nary a hope to breathe in the air. This is worth the record profits for some years. Shares will hold no value when you have no heirs. You don’t care. If we are willing to allow such fiends to remain in control, it could be said we’re deserving of our fate. They say we have no power. It’s true until we change. Let’s stand instead of cower. We need only break our chains. People over profit People over profit People over profit Daughters with no hope of silver hair; Sons with nary a hope to breathe in the air. This is worth the record profits for some years. Shares will hold no value when you have no heirs. You should care. Daughters with no hope of silver hair; Sons who’ll never hope to see their golden years. You should care. People over profit. They tell us we’re powerless. It’s true so long as we remain afraid. So long as we believe in the lies, our sons will not see their golden years. People over profit People over profit People over profit People over profit

We suffer and flounder in toil endless without gain. Choose shelter. Choose hunger. Choose what expense will go unpaid. The desperation mounts as bridges are unbound for yachts that need another forty feet. All while your pay is docked when you urinate. In giving all, why is it you should have nothing? Can’t you see without us they’ll get just the same? The time is now. Though they can never be ashamed, They can be humbled if their profits know our pain. Your life’s worth more than a yacht’s forty feet. They can be humbled if their profits know our pain.

A darkness gathers to bar our way, no hopelessness is held at bay. On edge, we fall to rage and fear. Worn and hateful. Driven to desperate means. None are equal. Ruled under zealotry. Tired & vengeful. unrest from the peasantry. Greed can’t be killed with kindness. Awaken the voiceless. The discourse is pointless. No course left but violence. Awaken the voiceless. The rich who oppress us aren’t human anymore. Void of compassion, their power should be no more. Greed can’t be killed with kindness. Awaken the voiceless. The discourse is pointless. No course left but violence. Awaken the voiceless now. Revolt is our only choice. United, they'll hear our voice. The masses outnumber, The corrupt must be cast down! We’ll bring them down! There’s no course left! Diplomacy was ignored or silenced. We’ve had enough. We’ve had enough! Greed can’t be killed with kindness. No course left but violence. Awaken the voiceless now.

Sickness 01:39 video
How can we grow and know our world lost in the glow, eyes locked upon the screen? We know not of our mother’s love. Connected to all, yet more alone; herded along, conquered so peacefully. Where the hell did we go wrong? The solace of the wind, and the earth upon our skin: Every bit of it forgotten in the tik’ing of the tok. The sharpness of our minds, our individual design; Dumbed down and stunted based on our astrological signs. So numb to the suffering, we only see the currency that don’t exist. The rise and the fall of the ticker price, the endless lows and highs: No more humanity, just sell yourselves and buy. How can we grow and know our world lost in the glow, eyes locked upon the screen? Where the hell did we go wrong?

No Victors 03:55
The folks are feeling the squeeze every day at the pump. Record profits, obscene. New war, oil’s new front. The news would have you believe / it’s only Russia at fault. Plain truth withheld from the screens; there’s no relation at all. It is simply greed. Our country backs a neo-fascist regime, one that we ourselves have put into power. Pandemic forgotten now that we’ve got a war to win. Once more to the breach imperialist whores preach. More genocide. More bombs and more destroyed lives. Subhumans die such great headlines for the Times. What an excuse for petrol’s cost to rise. The folks are feeling the squeeze gouged at every turn. Wasted life, so obscene. Still we never learn. Pandemic forgotten now that we’ve got a war to win. Once more to the breach imperialist whores preach. More genocide. More bombs and more destroyed lives. Sub-humans die such great headlines for the Times. War’s a death knell for us so profits can be boomed. It’s endless suffering: blood traded for glittering gold. The bombs are deafening. The young are culled to serve the wealthy old. The history repeats. We’re desperate in need of change. Greed’s the greatest evil ground upon our teeth. Pandemic forgotten now that we’ve got a war to win. Once more to the breach imperialist whores preach. More genocide. More bombs and more destroyed lives. Subhumans die such great headlines for the Times. This is war. No one wins save for the wealthy elite we serve. We pay the price chugs on the battlefield and here at home.
