Avarice
Avarice Unveiled: A Protest Anthem Against Economic Injustice
Lyrics
She needs time
Expresses a need for time
to get her head together
Describes the need to organize thoughts
there's no hiding,
Highlights the inability to hide from something
it's been a struggle to leave the house,
Describes difficulty leaving the house
Ignoring politics,
Disregards political matters
this flower blossoms in the morning sun,
Describes a flower thriving in sunlight
it's surrounded by the avarice,
Notes the presence of greed around the flower
but they don't speak for us
Asserts that the greedy don't represent "us"
Our anxious nerves they fill this empty space,
Describes anxious nerves filling an empty space
we scream our hearts out while we,
Expresses screaming hearts while falling from grace
fall from grace
as we fall from grace
Reiterates the theme of falling from grace
The victim of a credit crunch,
Portrays someone affected by a financial crisis
she's out of promise and all out of luck
Indicates a lack of promises and luck
and this is still, a mans world,
Comments on the persistence of a male-dominated world
why is it still, a mans world
Questions why it's still a male-dominated world
They're out to privatise the hell out of us (woah woah)
Refers to attempts to privatize and undervalue individuals
and sell us off by the hour,
Highlights the selling off of individuals for less than their worth
for less than we're worth (woah woah)
they build these policies that draw us down but
Refers to policies that negatively impact people
we won't stay down
Asserts a determination not to stay down
no we won't stay dooooooooooooooooown.
Our anxious nerves they fill this empty space,
Describes anxious nerves filling an empty space
we scream our hearts out while we,
Expresses screaming hearts while falling from grace
fall from grace
as we fall from grace
Reiterates the theme of falling from grace
Our anxious nerves they fill this empty space,
Describes anxious nerves filling an empty space
we scream our hearts out while we,
Expresses screaming hearts while falling from grace
fall from grace
as we fall from grace
Reiterates the theme of falling from grace
We need a protest,
Expresses a need for a protest
we're at our lowest,
States being at a low point
we need a protest
Reiterates the need for a protest
Our anxious nerves they fill this empty space,
Describes anxious nerves filling an empty space
we scream our hearts out while we,
Expresses screaming hearts while falling from grace
fall from grace
as we fall from grace
Reiterates the theme of falling from grace
