A bombshell has been dropped It’s a doomsday device
To put panic in our hearts, keep fear in our eyes
It’s the same news cycle reported spinning the wheels in our heads
Your neighbors are all criminals the police are your friends
It’s fast-food politics their wheeling and dealing with all the tricks
Celebrating broken systems exhaustion and delirium
Their building empires with trickery and lies
Oligarchs are smiling because our hands are tied
There are laws created to protect the rich from the poor
City to city jails will overflow
City to city mortgages will for close
City to city bankers’ budgets will explode
With record profits
You can’t cover the smell
Illusions fill up televisions and magazines with lifestyles that can’t sustain
It’s hard to see reality while were hypnotized by fakes
Dressed to empress businesses that mold our fate
As they indulge in their obsession to take from our plates
We are spinning the wheels of this money-making machine
They are leaving the dishes to be cleaned
