Feed the Monkey
Unveiling Society's Addiction
Lyrics
Money makes the world go round
Money is a powerful force shaping the world
While your vices keep you bound
Personal weaknesses or vices limit you
We offer you a helping hand
Offering assistance or support
We supply, what's your demand
Providing what is desired or requested
We will keep you fed
Promising sustenance and support
While our cancer spreads
Our negative influence grows unnoticed
You blissfully accept
You accept our impact without realizing
Our medication in your hands
Our influence is in the form of medication
The television man
The media controls your desires
Makes you crave our brand
You crave products associated with us
We pull on your strings
We manipulate you for our benefit
You help us to live like kings
Your actions contribute to our opulence
Corrosion has spread all throughout the empire
Corruption has pervaded the entire system
Yet you keep throwing yourself in the fire
You persist in self-destructive behavior
All of your luxuries come at a price
Your comforts have hidden costs
You just ignore the blade and roll the dice
You ignore risks and live recklessly
Images flash before my eyes
Images of consequences flash in the mind
Planting a seed that will soon rise
Seeds of consequences are planted
Hypnotized by a flaming desire
Driven by a destructive desire
I crave just a taste
Desire for our influence
Eyes come alive
Awareness and vitality emerge
Indulgent plight
Engaged in self-destructive behavior
Senses ignite
Senses are heightened
Worlds collide
Conflicting worlds collide
Shackled by our addictions
Chained by our addictive behaviors
We depend on corruption
We rely on corruption for sustenance
It matters not our condition
Our condition doesn't matter
We won't stray from perdition
We won't deviate from our destructive path
We are in over our heads
In too deep, beyond rationality
Our thoughts out of mind
Our thoughts are irrational
Regrets never kept
No remorse for past actions
Shackled by our addictions
Chained by addictive behaviors (repeated)
Reality stares us in the face
Reality is evident, but we ignore it
But we just look away
Choosing to look away from harsh truths
We'd rather be blind
Prefering ignorance to facing reality
Our habits will put us in our graves
Destructive habits lead to our demise
But we won't break away
Unwilling to break free from destructive patterns
We don't mind the decay
We accept the decay that comes with our actions
We keep feeding this machine
Sustain the system despite the struggle
And yet our struggle never fades
Struggle persists despite our contributions
Drawing circles, dancing around our graves
Repeating destructive patterns, avoiding change
We'd rather die than change our ways
Prefer death over changing our ways
