Filthy Greedy Guilty
Filthy Greedy Guilty: Unveiling the Corrupt Dance of Power
Lyrics
Blood on his hands, blood on his feet
Bloodshed marks this person's actions, a symbol of guilt and violence.
It's the trial of the century
An exaggerated legal case, drawing attention as a significant event.
Set him free and fill your wallet
Allowing an offender to go free in exchange for personal financial gain.
It's your choice so go on and call it
Encouragement to make a decision in favor of personal benefit despite morality.
You call it justice, I call it shit
Differing opinions on what constitutes justice versus injustice.
But we're gonna have to live with it
Acceptance of a flawed system despite personal disagreement.
There's nothing much that we can do
A sense of helplessness in challenging established power and privilege.
The rich go free while the poor get screwed
An observation on the imbalance of justice favoring the wealthy.
Buy your freedom, sell your conscience
Repetition emphasizing the transactional nature of compromising one's morality for personal freedom.
Buy your freedom, sell your conscience
-How can you look into the mirror and not see a heartless demon
An accusation of lacking empathy or compassion, seeing only selfishness and cruelty.
Cause when I look into your eyes that's all I'm fuckin seeing
-You make a living telling lies
Criticism of a livelihood based on deceit and ignorance of others' suffering.
Ignoring innocent peoples' cries
-You have no compassion you greedy fuck
Highlighting greed and a willingness to compromise morals for personal gain.
And you'd sell your soul to make a fucking buck
-Buy your freedom, sell your conscience
Reiteration of the theme of sacrificing integrity for personal liberty.
Buy your freedom, sell your conscience
-Lying rich bastards drunk with power
Condemnation of powerful individuals taking advantage of their status, manipulating media to their benefit.
Charge an arm and a leg just to talk four an hour
-Tell them your story as we see it on T.V.
-As reporters feed blood across our screen
-The nation knows you did it
An assertion of guilt despite legal technicalities allowing the guilty to escape consequences.
The lawyers know the law
-The judge knows your guilty, but your free on a flaw
-If you have a load of money then its plain to see
Highlighting the injustice where wealth determines legal outcomes.
The poor get incarcerated and the rich go free
-Kills his kids and beats his wife
Outrage against trying to exonerate someone clearly guilty due to their wealth.
You try to set him free and that's not right
-It's not alright
-You knew he was guilty
Recognition of guilt despite wealth and the hypocrisy of seeking freedom.
But he was greedy and wealthy
-His clothes still filthy
Criticism of the obsession with wealth, even if it comes from morally questionable means.
Filthy rich is what you fucking crave
-As you count your money night and day
Accusing someone of gaining material possessions at the expense of others' lives.
You bought your car, you even bought your wife
-At the expense of someone else's life
-Buy your freedom, sell your conscience
Reiterating the theme of compromising morality for personal gain.
Buy your freedom, sell your conscience
-Justice system
Expressing disillusionment and anger toward the justice system's flaws and the compromise of morals.
Buy your freedom
-Fuck this system
-Sell your conscience
-Justice system
Reiteration of disdain toward the justice system's corruption and the selling out of personal values.
Buy your freedom
-Fuck this system
-Sell your conscience
