about

recorded in 2022, very pissed off

lyrics

Lesson one’s the only one you’ll ever need
You never underestimate the other person’s sense of greed
Capitalism what is it to you and me
It’s that feeling that you’ve been ripped off when you can’t even see
They got us ripping off the poorest of the poor
Got us fighting over pennies got us screaming more and more
Got us picking fights that we can’t ever win
While they sit around get richer with an evil f*cking grin
Laughing at us losers fighting fights that we won’t ever win

Money, power
First we
Get the money than the power
Money
Power
Can we
Help it if the taste is sour

Don’t try to sell me on America the great
When our founding fathers found a place and took it using hate
Don’t try to lecture me on liberty and hope
When liberty’s tied to a paycheck, law enforcement is a joke
It’s downright tenuous, late stage society
This home is feeling not so brave it’s feeling not so free
It’s disingenuous, this phrase land of the free
When the rich keep getting richer on the backs of you and me

Money, power
First we
Get the money than the power
Money
Power
Can we
Help it if the taste is sour
