Pennies on the Dollar Lyrics

All these flowers trying their best to grow

A lucky few make it in the vase

The rest discarded to the compost heap

Tossed aside by their feckless gardener

More sprout and try to flourish

Despite knowing their likely fate

We all know it

Yet keep breaking ground

All while begging the orchid thief, hey

Pick me, pick me

Quick hits of dopamine

Easy green, forgoing substance

Shortsighted curations

Of the scene, belying justice

The customer ain't always right

So why'd you let them choose

A panoply full of sonic blight

All your favorite

Planted noobs

And auto-tunes

Take your power, and shove it

Your proteges, groom 'em and love 'em

Take your kills, take all the plunder

No one will care when you're six feet under

Act like you walk on water

Getting off on the gates you keep

We get pennies on the dollar

While you fatten up your flock of sheep

You beasts

When will you learn

We are your well

The wind for your sail

All you need to forget your

Planted noobs

And auto-tunes

You lot of cowards, milking all of us

Churning out disposable suckers

Take your kills, take all the plunder

No one will care when you're six feet under

Act like you walk on water

Getting off on the gates you keep

We get pennies on the dollar

While you feast like the lions eat

You beasts

I'd love to burn this down

Take it to the ground

Equalize our sounds

This is my take on you tasteless, impatient

Trend-slaving

Taint-gobbling

Money grubbing ding dongs

Act like you walk on water

Getting off on the gates you keep

We get pennies on the dollar

While you feast like the lions eat

You beasts

I'd love to burn this down

Take it to the ground

Equalize our sounds

We won't take, we won't take

We won't take your pennies on dollars

We won't take, we won't take

We won't take your pennies on dollars

No way
