Lyrics
Speculation
Exploitation
Extract the wealth from common folk
Stagnate wages
Stay in cages
Treading water till you’re all strung out
Pay the bills
Seek a thrill
living life on borrowed dimes
Pay the owners,
think you golden
Pretend you’ve got way more than mine
Lost in forest
To keep us the poorest
Buy backs and layoffs
Will bring us all down
Hedge funds are no fun
With Shareholders inbound
They eat up our labour
And keep punching down
Increase the margins
Grow the targets
Keep it up and never stop
Eclipse the limits
Blame the victims
Bankers take away your hope
It’s all redundant
Talking pundits
Say you’re poor and it’s your fault
Get ahead
Until your dead
Realize that you’ve been left out
Lost in a forest
To keep us the poorest
Buy backs and layoffs
Will bring us all down.
Hedge funds are no fun
With shareholders inbound
To eat up your labour
And keep punching down
Lost in a story
Cause real is so horrid
can’t keep on pushing
myself out of bed
No talking? I’m sorry
We’re hungry, you’re boring
Piles and piles of
junk in your head
Miles and miles
Of blood in your stead
