Machine of Greed Lyrics

Money buys your time, and time buys your chains,

The rich man profits while the poor man strains.

Power's just a currency, but the cost remains,

You're born with nothing, die the same in vain.

Gold lines the walls but rusts the soul,

A hollow empire takes control.

Stack the deck, raise the stakes,

A world that bends but never breaks.

In the machine of greed, you're just a cog,

Turning the wheels, lost in the fog.

Power feeds the hunger, but it never slows,

Money runs the river, but where it goes

Nobody knows, nobody knows.

Promises sold like shares on the floor,

The hungry begging outside the door.

They'll build you up just to watch you fall,

A king's ransom for nothing at all.

Silver tongues, they write the script,

While iron hands tighten the grip.

Play your part, but never speak,

The strong get stronger, the weak stay weak.

In the machine of greed, you're just a cog,

Turning the wheels, lost in the fog.

Power feeds the hunger, but it never slows,

Money runs the river, but where it goes

Nobody knows, nobody knows.

They draw the line between rich and poor,

But the heart of the beast always craves more.

Burning fields, a rising flood,

Turning life into paper and blood.

In the machine of greed, you're just a cog,

Turning the wheels, lost in the fog.

Power feeds the hunger, but it never slows,

Money runs the river, but where it goes

Nobody knows, nobody knows.

The lights go out, the shadows fall,

And in the end, we lose it all.

But the machine keeps rolling on,

A broken system forever gone, gone, gone.
