lyrics

Nothing will change
Just a rearranging of corporate interest
A bidding war
To ensure continued loyal service
To feudal lords

In modern serfdom we laud our freedoms
Distressing options eclipsing reason
We place our faith in repeated misleading
Hope-selling, retelling of transparent falsehoods
They barely conceal ulterior interests
(They’re play-acting poorly but we prefer comfort)
Pretending our system isn’t a business
(Our moral delusions eventually crumble)
That these opportunists might represent us
That they possess just a vestige of conscience
In open ocean they scuttle the ship
The lifeboats will only have room for the rich
A passage we never were meant to survive
The cynics we silenced and pushed to the side

We underestimate
The absolute absence of care
Those in commanding roles
Commit to the burden they bare
They are not here to serve us
Is it that we deserve this
Are we destined to kneel
Acquiescing to these
Structures we won’t question
Remain on our knees
Or is it possible for an alternate path to be set
Most times it feels like the cards have already been dealt
(And we’re just left here)
Expected to settle the debt
In open ocean they scuttle the ship
The lifeboats will only have room for the rich
A passage we never were meant to survive
The cynics we silenced and pushed to the side
Hope manufactured, betrayal awaits
The body politic laying in state
We cast our votes in this temple of fear
Our ballots uncounted, the outcome is clear
