Murphy's Whore Lyrics

If you have ever been poor

You know the good guys lost the cold war

The victors commodified it all

Salute your techno-feudal overlords

They said history's dead, end of

Now we live in a vision of Hieronymous Bosch

We suffocate cos demons can't afford

To sever capital's stillborn umbilical cord

Here we wait in the meantime

History don't repeat but it often rhymes

Silently for the second time

The world watches Armenia die

Genocide in the holy land

Satan and the stock exchange holding hands

Unwise men without epiphany

The great disaster, the infinite misery

A death sentence with no appeal

Bet your life on zero on the roulette wheel

Bloodletting, the only escape

From our apocalypse, new dark age

Lady Luck's a filthy whore

Play the game but never score

In a system rotten to its core

All that matters is where you were born

Lady Luck's a filthy whore

Play the game but never score

In a system rotten to its core

All that matters is where you were born

I missed the package that heaven sent

Cause I was at work selling my soul to pay rent

Multiple generations now totally lost

At least we made record profits for the boss

All our futures sold down the river

So what else to do than destroy your liver

Stay up till six racking up white lines

So we can simulate the feeling of being alive

An ouroboros of Swan Lake

As humanity's last hope begins to fade

Anything that can will go wrong

Just like my horses in the final furlong

Lady Luck's a filthy whore

Play the game but never score

In a system rotten to its core

All that matters is where you were born

Lady Luck's a filthy whore

Play the game but never score

In a system rotten to its core

All that matters is where you were born

Surely the pain can't carry on

Where's the promised land's rapprochement

Until the eternal crescendo of silence

I wanna see righteous revolutionary violence

Bloodletting the only escape

From our apocalypse new dark age

A death sentence with no appeal

Bet your life on zero on the roulette wheel

Lady Luck's a filthy whore

Play the game but never score

In a system rotten to its core

All that matters is where you were born

Lady Luck's a filthy whore

Play the game but never score

In a system rotten to its core

All that matters is where you were born

Lady Luck's a filthy whore

Play the game but never score

In a system rotten to its core

All that matters is where you were born

Lady Luck's a filthy whore

Play the game but never score

In a system rotten to its core

All that matters is where you were born
