Be the first to rate this song

Lyrics

Coming out of the womb the world feels like a tomb

The beginning of life feels like a place of confinement or oppression.

Weæ?®e heavily indebted

We have significant financial obligations or burdens that we must bear.

From the cradle to the grave, weæ?®e always slaves

From birth to death, individuals are constantly under some form of control or oppression.

Always tugging at credit

There's a continuous pressure to manage and repay debts or obligations.

See the misery and the poverty

Observation of widespread suffering and lack of resources among people.

And how they exacerbate it

The existing issues of poverty and misery are being intensified or made worse.

While weæ?®e breakin?our backs tryin?to pay back

People are working hard to repay debts that were given to oppressive or corrupt leaders.

Loans made to dictators

Questioning the rationale behind sacrificing the future generation for certain beliefs or systems.

And I donæ?° know why we sacrifice our children

Children are viewed merely as economic assets or expendable resources.

But it follows from your premises

This perspective arises from certain foundational beliefs or principles.

Theyæ?®e just dollars and cents, theyæ?®e just resources to expend

Human lives are treated as mere economic units or commodities.

Somewhere thereæ?¯ a bottom line more important than yours

There exists a primary objective or goal that surpasses individual or collective well-being.

The financial vultures have built a culture

Financially motivated individuals or entities have fostered a divisive culture.

That pits us against our brothers

People are pitted against each other due to the manipulations of these financial forces.

And weæ?£l always bleed as long as greed

There will always be suffering as long as unchecked greed hides behind the guise of freedom.

Can hide under freedomæ?¯ cover

The idea of debt relief causes continuous pain or anguish to those burdened by debt.

Their debt reliefæ?¯ a source of constant grief

More resources or wealth move to the wealthier or more powerful nations rather than being distributed equally.

To those who bear itæ?¯ burden

The system of free trade primarily benefits those in power or control.

While the money flows North more than back and forth

A metaphorical representation of a child born into a world filled with despair and hopelessness.

From the coffers of free tradeæ?¯ servants

The child faces a life burdened by circumstances beyond her control, symbolizing systemic issues.

Little girl born in a cemetery

The current system or approach has failed to account for the genuine needs or value of individuals.

All around her is dead and buried

Born into a world devoid of hope

-

Little girl born in a cemetery

-

Knowing nothing of the burden sheæ?£l carry

-

Your accounting owes her more than this
