Curb
Rising from Golden Chains: Dead Billionaires' Anthem
Lyrics
I've been trying hard to mask my sadness
I have been attempting to conceal my sorrow.
But it won't stop until we grow out of
This struggle will persist until we mature beyond
Clinging onto comfort
Clutching onto comfort.
At the cost of all our relatives
At the expense of our relatives.
And our spineless representatives
And our spineless representatives.
Swimming in their golden skeletons
Engaged in corrupt practices (golden skeletons).
And maybe we can fight our way out
We might resist and break free.
But we don't care how many people die
We are indifferent to the number of casualties as long as stock values rise.
Just as long as the stocks go up
Indifference to human lives in pursuit of financial gains.
And we don't care how many people drown
No concern for the number of drowning victims while enjoying luxury.
Cause we're still drinking from our golden cup
Indulging in opulence despite human suffering.
It ain't about what you wanted
Not about personal desires or perceived entitlements.
Or what you think you deserve
Regardless of what one thinks they deserve.
Cause we're gonna spit you out and
You will be rejected and discarded.
Toss you to the curb
It's not about what you wanted; you'll be cast away.
Long has the suture been sewn up
A metaphorical reference to a healed wound (suture).
But now it's time for us to rip out all
Time to expose and eliminate all the falsehoods.
Of the lies that we've been growing
Lies that have been nurtured and propagated.
And it ain't what we've been promised it's
Reality doesn't match the promises made.
Just the cost of what they're selling
The real cost of what they are selling.
Could ya give me one shred of evidence
Request for evidence that we can overcome challenges.
To show me we can fight our way out?
Questioning the ability to fight against the system.
And the loss of our humanity
The loss of our human qualities.
Makes the bosses wanna show their teeth
Corporate leaders revealing their aggressive nature.
They're grinning in rotten ecstasy
They take pleasure in the decay and degradation.
And surely we can fight our way out
We can resist, but the disregard for human life persists.
But we don't care how many people die
Indifferent to casualties as long as stocks thrive.
Just as long as the stocks go up
No concern for the number of drowning victims while enjoying luxury.
And we don't care how many people drown
Indulging in opulence despite human suffering.
Cause we're still drinking from our golden cup
It's not about personal desires or perceived entitlements.
It ain't about what you wanted
Regardless of what one thinks they deserve.
Or what you think you deserve
You will be rejected and discarded.
Cause we're gonna spit you out and
It's not about what you wanted; you'll be cast away.
Toss you to the curb
Conclusion: Rejection and dismissal await.
