Drained Lyrics

I see the ringgit, beaten up and limping

I asked myself, if we're keeping score, whose winning

I guess if I saved a little, maybe I could live

Without it being a grievance to my kids

Oh the debt has a deathly grip, with a ghastly prick

That stabbed us, left us for dead to the brim

As it rains down drench out watch it drip

Losing dreams, down to the trenches quick

Can't afford the groceries no more, probably

Thinking of breaking, entering

Battering, having to hack-in through the doors

Searching evidently for dough

But dammit, my principles, where did it go

So, if I steal I'm a criminal, get a minimal

Of being condemned to the abyss, at a citadel

While the beast gets fed what's edible

Grows fat, while the poor are broke and miniscule

Just hoping for the best what we're left with

And for the youth to voice out and break the latches

And after that, kick them asses, and graph a future without

These bastards

They say they could take control

They say they could take control

This pain, this strain, this land, they have with disdain

With change, we reign, instead of blood soaked stains

This pain, this strain, this land, they have with disdain

With change, we reign, instead of blood soaked stains

We've got affected by the infection they provided

Profiting from the dividends and stealing them like pirates

Act like citizens are second-class, behind a smiling mask

While pillages villages, taking and killing with violence like villains

Their children gotten fat, rotten fast wonder how long will it last huh

While we take it one day at time, living on minimum wage

Famish on a dime, while they're harvesting lavishly in heaven

So sublime, on the other hand, we're in a hellish grind

It's getting harder waking up in the morning

When I couldn't afford to live in the house I'm owning

Tip-toe on the economy, constantly haunting me

Watch the prices jacked up, no apologies

And I'm judged straight faced for asking

I can hear the fat cats now laughing

I'm hoping for a rise from the nose dive

Hope they don't sell us off for a price, I know right

They're watching us, demanding we submit

But we're rebelling, kicking the beast off its peak

They say they could take control

They say they could take control

This pain, this strain, this land, they have with disdain

With change, we reign, instead of blood soaked stains

This pain, this strain, this land, they have with disdain

With change, we reign, instead of blood soaked stains

They say they could take control

They say they could take control

I say they won't last a vote

You can kill the hope, but you can't touch my soul

They say they could take control

They say they could take control

I say they won't last a vote

I say they won't last a vote

You can't touch my soul
