Collapse

Tears into the flood
Wealth built from your blood
It's never effortless to be freed
By the gracious gods of our greed

Reach the highest rung
Seize and sell the sun
We'll bring in revenue night and day
With payment plans that charge by the ray

I'm the only one up above
Here at the top where can I go
Crying like you got it rough
Fuel on the fire burns us both
Fairness dictates from actions we all
Made on our rise and fall

From disconnected plugs
Come thoughts of soulless tongues
Saying you only get what you're owed
Should've been born on richer roads

You can fill your lungs
When the day's work is done
My role to rule and yours to serve
Let me define what we deserve

Oh listen

I'm the only one up above
Here at the top where can I go
Crying like you got it rough
Fuel on the fire burns us both
Fairness dictates from actions we all
Made on our rise and fall

Quiet lives
Inquiry why
I choose to let
Estates divide us
Quiet lives
Inquiry why
I choose to let
Estates divide us
Quiet lives
Inquiry why
I choose to let
Estates divide

All are lifted by the rise of the tide
Like the bodies of those who don't survive
All are lifted by the rising tide
Don't cry over the bodies of those who won't survive

I'm the only one up above
Here at the top where can I go
Crying like you got it rough
Fuel to the fire burns us both

A shut door in the way
Behind they generate
Glory as the profit grows
Boardrooms and guilded idols

Get by giving in
Together we depend
What would you ever do without
Us wiping the sweat off your brow

I'm the only one up above
Here at the top where can I go
Crying like you got it rough
Fuel on the fire burns us both
Fairness dictates from actions we all
Made on our rise and fall
