The Devil's Name is Adam
The Devil's name is Adam
You let him settle down
He's taken your breath
The Devil's name is Adam
Selling it back to you
With a price hike
Infecting minds with your golden tongue
It twists a knife in my heart
Then whispers in your ear
Commodify everyone
Capital is the drug you drink from
The corpse of loved ones
Legalised by addicts
Harvested by us
The Devil's name is Adam
You let him settle down
He's taken your breath
The Devil's name is Adam
Selling it back to you
With a price hike
I said don't lie in your bed
Get your head down
Back to work again
I know your money's short
But we got to pay
For his new yacht
There's no protecting you this time
No the homeless are the problem
Begging for cash, sleeping where I can see them
It's single mums who can't pay for their commute
So we charge them for not paying
Now her kids can't eat
The problem is nurses asking for a living wage
It's railway workers wanting to be safe
Or it's trans kids fault for wanting to piss in peace
Or teachers are the problem
For overcrowded classrooms with not enough seats
Or we can blame free healthcare
Or poor families for leaching off of welfare
Or young people not chasing work over self care
But I don't care
You're always manufacturing fake outrage
In a culture war
Hoping we won't notice
Now I don't care
Cause your boots been on my neck too long
And you know you're not part of a solution
So you're clinging on
The Devil's name is Adam
You let him settle down
He's taken your breath
The Devil's name is Adam
Selling it back to you
With a price hike
You let him settle down
He's taken your breath
The Devil's name is Adam
Selling it back to you
With a price hike
Infecting minds with your golden tongue
It twists a knife in my heart
Then whispers in your ear
Commodify everyone
Capital is the drug you drink from
The corpse of loved ones
Legalised by addicts
Harvested by us
The Devil's name is Adam
You let him settle down
He's taken your breath
The Devil's name is Adam
Selling it back to you
With a price hike
I said don't lie in your bed
Get your head down
Back to work again
I know your money's short
But we got to pay
For his new yacht
There's no protecting you this time
No the homeless are the problem
Begging for cash, sleeping where I can see them
It's single mums who can't pay for their commute
So we charge them for not paying
Now her kids can't eat
The problem is nurses asking for a living wage
It's railway workers wanting to be safe
Or it's trans kids fault for wanting to piss in peace
Or teachers are the problem
For overcrowded classrooms with not enough seats
Or we can blame free healthcare
Or poor families for leaching off of welfare
Or young people not chasing work over self care
But I don't care
You're always manufacturing fake outrage
In a culture war
Hoping we won't notice
Now I don't care
Cause your boots been on my neck too long
And you know you're not part of a solution
So you're clinging on
The Devil's name is Adam
You let him settle down
He's taken your breath
The Devil's name is Adam
Selling it back to you
With a price hike
