Profit over People
There is nothing here to fear
(Just feed the greed. Ignore your needs)
We hold greatness they revere
(Don't stay away. Breathe in the plague)
Pay no mind to what you see
(It culls the weak, the old, the freaks)
We are apex. We, the free
(You're on your own. Carry the throne)
How soon we forget
How we covered the airwaves with ignorance
How soon we forget
That we turned on ourselves when the profits collapsed
Trust in us to show the way
(The bodies pile but keep up your smile)
Don't believe what others say
(No time for sleep. Back on your feet)
Our light shines throughout the world
(No need to breathe through these machines)
Now the greatness has returned
(We lead the world leaving the world)
How soon we forget
How they covered the airwaves with ignorance
How soon we forget
That we turned on ourselves when the profits collapsed
It's all make believe
These flags that we wrap ourselves in build the walls between
It's all make believe
The city shining on a hill, now a ghost town, crumbling
It's all make believe
The hopes and prayers, the strength declared, meant nothing
It's all make believe
When profit rules the people the people are empty
(Just feed the greed. Ignore your needs)
We hold greatness they revere
(Don't stay away. Breathe in the plague)
Pay no mind to what you see
(It culls the weak, the old, the freaks)
We are apex. We, the free
(You're on your own. Carry the throne)
How soon we forget
How we covered the airwaves with ignorance
How soon we forget
That we turned on ourselves when the profits collapsed
Trust in us to show the way
(The bodies pile but keep up your smile)
Don't believe what others say
(No time for sleep. Back on your feet)
Our light shines throughout the world
(No need to breathe through these machines)
Now the greatness has returned
(We lead the world leaving the world)
How soon we forget
How they covered the airwaves with ignorance
How soon we forget
That we turned on ourselves when the profits collapsed
It's all make believe
These flags that we wrap ourselves in build the walls between
It's all make believe
The city shining on a hill, now a ghost town, crumbling
It's all make believe
The hopes and prayers, the strength declared, meant nothing
It's all make believe
When profit rules the people the people are empty
