Golden Rope

There's a plague on the land
We're all touched by the man with the plan
He'll take the most for the least
Sell you violence as peace
Long term plan
No perversions are forbidden
In your mortgaged private prison
Cheap booze and coke to dope you
And a golden rope to choke you

Sell yourself
Sell yourself
Tell me, how much are you worth?

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
'Till the Kingdom falls
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
'Till the Kingdom falls

Don't forget that the debt they laid on you
Is a bet that they lost in the brothel casino
They gambled with dreams
Only yours
Now you've got to work much longer
And the money just gets shorter
Capital has colonized us
It rules and it divides us
Leaves a violence deep inside us

Can't you see?
Can't you see?
Won't you get up off your knees?

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
'Till the Kingdom falls
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
'Till the Kingdom falls

I know that there is something wrong with me
I know that there is something wrong with me
I know that there is something wrong with me
I know that there is something wrong with me
