You are going to break me down And all the while claim that it is good for me Show me all around All the things that you think I have never seen You are confident and cool With your confirmation bias You like to make the rules So you can rule them like a tyrant What is the interest rate on worldwide hunger? How much can I profit from it? Tell me how much can I plunder? Why is the bank the nicest building in the town? How is it possible that there is not enough to go around? Dig up the iron so that we can build a factory And send it down to Detroit to create the auto industry Take out interest loans and buy up shiny cars Manufacture roads made of asphalt and tar Pump them full of gas from petrol stations Raise us up an army to defend the foreign nations That supply us with the fuel so we can get away And live in the suburbs, far away from the machine Do you not see the irony? Can you not see the game? With a more efficient system, tell me how much we could save? If a poor man eats on just dollars a day Can we not just reallocate everything we waste? Because the top of the top needs the twenty million dollar House on the bluff overlooking the water While the real housewives tell us how hard their life is The top of the top Is a special kind of nonsense You bring a rich man to water But you know he will never drink a thing Unless he can make the calculation Determining the financial gain The wealthier the man The poorer he becomes He cannot even see that life Is time with his family and loved ones There is a reason why they call us The salt of the earth The people on the ground Create all of the worth The people at the top Do not want to give up what they have Convinced they deserve it Believe it or not They urine test the poor Before giving out food stamps But forgive COVID loans to the corrupt upper class College costs a hundred grand if you are from the lower class But if you are rich enough, you do not even pay your taxes Incentivize the media to tell you to buy, buy, buy Shiny new things are where your happiness resides The excess is ugly We are showing our true colors We focus on our vanity Instead of caring for one another I call upon the higher self-conscious To rise above the greed and the conflict I call upon the vision of your third eye To find the way forward to our paradise I call upon the wisdom of the ancients To reveal sacred truths of the ages Life will always be what we make it Never lose faith that we can change it Because the top of the top needs the twenty million dollar House on the bluff overlooking the water While the real housewives tell us how hard their life is The top of the top Is a special kind of nonsense.
