Rip Off
Verse 1
In a land where freedom should reign
The son's of bitches take, we're left with the pain
They tax our lives, our every breath
Monetizing dreams until there's nothing left
Pre-Chorus
We work so hard, but what's the gain?
When all they do is cause us pain
Promises broken, trust misplaced
In the name of power, we're disgraced
Chorus
What a rip-off, rip-off
Snake and oil, slick talk
What a rip-off, rip-off
Fake and foil, what a rip-off
Verse 2
Faith is pure, a guiding light
But when money's mixed, it's a different sight
They preach for gold, they sell our souls
In the name of God, they take control
Pre-Chorus
Holy words with a price tag
Charity sold like a cheap gag
Our faith exploited, hearts betrayed
In the shadow of their greed, we fade
Chorus
What a rip-off, rip-off
Snake and oil, slick talk
What a rip-off, rip-off
Fake and foil, what a rip-off
Verse 3
Health should be a human right
But they sell our pain, it's a constant fight
Pills for profit, cures withheld
In the name of healing, our fears are quelled
Pre-Chorus
They see our sickness as a chance
To line their pockets in advance
Our lives reduced to dollar signs
In the name of care, they cross the lines
Chorus
What a rip-off, rip-off
Snake and oil, slick talk
What a rip-off, rip-off
Fake and foil, what a rip-off
Bridge
But private dreams and enterprise
They lift us up, they help us rise
Innovation, drive, and honest gain
In true creative need, we break the chains
Chorus
What a rip-off, rip-off
Snake and oil, slick talk
What a rip-off, rip-off
Fake and foil, what a rip-off
[solo]
Chorus
What a rip-off, rip-off
Snake and oil, slick talk
What a rip-off, rip-off
Fake and foil, what a rip-off
In a land where freedom should reign
The son's of bitches take, we're left with the pain
They tax our lives, our every breath
Monetizing dreams until there's nothing left
Pre-Chorus
We work so hard, but what's the gain?
When all they do is cause us pain
Promises broken, trust misplaced
In the name of power, we're disgraced
Chorus
What a rip-off, rip-off
Snake and oil, slick talk
What a rip-off, rip-off
Fake and foil, what a rip-off

What a rip-off, rip-off
Snake and oil, slick talk
What a rip-off, rip-off
Fake and foil, what a rip-off
