A Doomed Race (Single Edit)

Fear of starvation, no future ahead
Raised in isolation, the madness has spread
A mass migration, hanging by a thread
Eternal damnation, you cut it instead

A rich man's war paid for by the mass
Fought out by the poor and censored by the press
They economize some more so lives cost them even less
A sight for eyes so sore, no mourning when they pass

You expected
A doomed race
To take care of the world

You, there, far up in the heavens
You, there, far down below
Look at us now, look at us now
You must be proud
You must be proud

Freedom of speech, on a pedestal he stands
You drain us like a leech, like the scavenger demands
With the words you preach your riot extends
They cost a dollar each, leave us with empty hands

We all wish for peace, our fingers numb and blue
Bruises on our knees as we're praying for you
A political disease, it just doesn't get through
They still raise the fees, after all, that's tried-and-true

You expected
A doomed race
To take care of the world

You, there, far up in the heavens
You, there, far down below
Look at us now, look at us now
You must be proud
You must be proud
