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.
