You trust in money, you trust in gold You pray for riches from heaven above You build a mansion from a pile of sand You trust in power But you bite the hand that feeds you The hand that feeds you You bow to leaders with a mindless voice You honor rumor with a vicious quote You vow allegiance to a fool's command You trust in country But you bite that hand that feeds you The hand that feeds you You trust religion and an honest face Television and outer space You trust in words that you don't understand You trust in glory But you bite the hand that feeds you The hand that feeds you The burden of freedom in a broken world The hand that feeds you You're obsessed with pleasure, obsessed with fame Outer beauty and royal names You trust in image and a promised land You're a slave to comfort But you bite the hand that feeds you You trust in money, you trust in gold You trust in soldiers and the ways of war You're a slave to victory and violent stands You cry for freedom But you bite the hand that feeds you The hand that feeds you To bear the burden of freedom in a broken world The hand that feeds you
