A Solipsistic Construct (Greed)
Throw 'em to the fucking wolves
And see if they survive
Gain wealth forgetting all but yourself
This is the vile maxim that rules our lives
Handed down by the masters of mankind
All for self, nothing for anyone else
Above all, obtain material wealth
We build ladders with rungs made of our design
It's on the backs of our class that we climb.
Solidarity defies this moral conformity
To care for the common man is absurdity
But they who have put out our eyes
Reproach us of our blindness
So we struggle to see through the lies
While we worsen the divide
Stay separate from one another
Condemn our sisters and brothers
The inveterate enemies of thought
Revel in what they've wrought
Mammon has been made manifest in
All of the ruling class it's
A realistic representation of avarice
This right now is the fourth circle of hell
And it stays this way as long as we buy and sell
This is the Age of Mammon and the era of greed
While there is authority we will never be free
And see if they survive
Gain wealth forgetting all but yourself
This is the vile maxim that rules our lives
Handed down by the masters of mankind
All for self, nothing for anyone else
Above all, obtain material wealth
We build ladders with rungs made of our design
It's on the backs of our class that we climb.
Solidarity defies this moral conformity
To care for the common man is absurdity
But they who have put out our eyes
Reproach us of our blindness
So we struggle to see through the lies
While we worsen the divide
Stay separate from one another
Condemn our sisters and brothers
The inveterate enemies of thought
Revel in what they've wrought
Mammon has been made manifest in
All of the ruling class it's
A realistic representation of avarice
This right now is the fourth circle of hell
And it stays this way as long as we buy and sell
This is the Age of Mammon and the era of greed
While there is authority we will never be free
