lyrics

Endlessly printing off wealth
Imaginary economic stealth
To move through this financial war-zone
Cuz this is the war at home
More dollars to fight it off
But the bills are never paid off
To close our debt,
We open new accounts
To pay off the balance incurred by and attached to,
Our imaginary money,
We just make more of it,
Each play dollar coming with more indebtedness
To a system designed to pulverize
There’s no skill in recognizing
The loss
Born standing on negative, that’s no deficit
That’s a rigged game, worse and worse
Steadily bloating the winning purse
Fake plastic value
Rising and boiling,
Seething under the pressure of our emptiness
Burning those left with the raw end
When the music stops
And the axe drops
And there’s nowhere to go, nothing to do
When you see it’s all a crapshoot
You understand the signs
See the wolves around your share
Like you’re so damn innocent,
We’re all in the game, like it or not
Our shares belong to those who split the hairs
It’s all house money
We don’t own anything but what we owe
Hold it while you can,
Till it’s the next player’s turn
And we retire to our urns
Burned up
By the passing of time
And the rotation of a dime
Be blessed by the God We Trust
And the more we make, the less we’ve got
Pull it out, sons of capital
Make your last withdrawal
Hide it in your mattress, and see where it goes
No such thing as buying power
And look where we are,
Past the brink,
A whole new stage past the era of indebtedness
To a system so perfectly perverted
As to ensure a constant balance owed
You think I’m a bit verbose
Sophomoric and petty,
Youthfully angry
But I’m past it, and you gotta understand
I’m MAD AS HELL and I’ve got nowhere to land
Nothing under my feet
Just the clanging sound of an endless machine
It goes on beyond foreclosure
Scooping up some radically inverted value
Till we all know, and all we see,
Is the monster who put us on our knees
And I don’t care who doesn’t hear me
I’m letting go of what grips me
For what it’s “worth”
Open up the gates of hell
Cuz I’m buzzing to you
Through my irrevocable miserable
MINISTRY OF HATE
I wanna burn down the whole damn state
I’m no extremist
It’s the most sensible thing I’ve said so far
So long to this calamity
I’ll see you in eternity
A bleak, blackened, burned out star
