Rising Tide (Acoustic) Lyrics

The greatest trick ever played is still working every year

That the powerful are not the enemy

Exploit the growing rage, blame everyone they fear

Now the melting pot is burning from the heat

'Cause if they're desperate enough, then they'll believe anything

From scheme to shining scheme

We're not gonna make it through this together

'Cause we're not even gonna try

All we can hope for is a break in the pressure

And hope some of us make it out alive

It's best to measure someone's worth by how much they can provide

Don't treat them with humanity

Give the people just enough so they stay alive

The dead don't help the GDP

It's in everyone's best interest to make the people bleed

From greed to shining greed

We're not gonna make it through this together

'Cause we're not even gonna try

All we can hope for is a break in the pressure

And hope some of us make it out alive

We spend our whole lives with our mouths open wide

Still waiting for that trickle down

Who cares if the boats are being lifted by the tide

When we're stuck in the water trying not to drown?

We're not gonna make it through this together

We're never even gonna try

All we can hope for is a break in the pressure

And hope some of us make it out alive
