Unveiling Greed: A Middle Eastern Tune's Insight into Democracy's Dilemma
Lyrics
The nation that we live is the best in the world
The nation we live in is considered the best in the world.
It's just kind of fucked because the leadership sucks
Despite this, there is dissatisfaction due to poor leadership.
The idea of democracy is beautiful to me
The concept of democracy is appealing to the speaker.
But greed makes it hard for them to see
Greed hinders a clear vision and implementation of democracy.
Our country is run by the wealthy and corrupt
The country is controlled by wealthy and corrupt individuals.
Instead of being whole and run by all
Instead of unity, the nation is divided and controlled by a few.
We need to make a change and better do it soon
There is a call for change, emphasizing the need for urgency.
Or else, this nation is surely doomed
Without change, the future of the nation is bleak.
Making money's the purpose in life
The pursuit of wealth is portrayed as the main purpose in life.
It needs a change for this I'll fight
The speaker expresses a commitment to fighting for change.
Main thing in life should be finding happiness
Advocacy for prioritizing happiness as the main goal in life.
If that's the way it was then the world could rest
Imagining a world where happiness is the primary focus.
Many are obsessed with money, I find
Criticism of those overly obsessed with wealth.
This is wrong in my mind
The speaker considers the obsession with money to be morally wrong.
People think that money's happiness
Highlighting the misconception that money equals happiness.
These thoughts are the keys to ignorance
Labeling such thoughts as the cause of ignorance.
The medium of exchange is so fully deranged
Criticizing the current state of the monetary system.
What once worked well now leaves us to regret
Reflecting on the regrettable consequences of past practices.
Maybe Satan's the one to blame
Suggesting a provocative idea that Satan might be responsible for greed.
Accept his greed, he'll drive you insane
Warning against succumbing to greed as it can lead to insanity.
