American Oligarchy Lyrics

The greed fueled wheels are turning, I can see 'em chewing up my fellow man

Apostles of the rich and power hungry lie with bibles in their hands

About how all we need is to work harder, sacrifice the most we can

The greed fueled wheels are turning, I can see 'em chewing up my fellow man

Apostles of the rich and power hungry lie with bibles in their hands

About how all we need is to work harder, sacrifice the most we can

Built on cliffs of blood & gold, they sit upon their thrones

Honesty's a casualty eventually, it turns their hearts to stone

Maybe they'll reflect on things while brooding in their million dollar homes

Don't put your soul up for sale, never lose your spark

They'll steal every part of you away, till you're long gone

So get on

The truth is scares the arrogant, so they turn their backs away

Away from the injustices that plague this nation even to this day

While poverty eats neighborhoods of people our leaders led astray

Life is a kaleidoscope of colors, we aren't meant to live in gray

The spineless ones in power hold their hands out and they sell our rights away

While bombs built with our dollars drop on lands in a genocidal haze

Don't put your soul up for sale, never lose your spark

They'll steal every part of you away, till you're long gone

So get on

People starving in the streets yet the fat cats rake it in

Eventually enough will be enough, but I can't say when

So say when

Maybe there's a place out there, where everyone has all that they need

Where everything's in order and the only lines your face has are from glee

But if you need to rest until we get there, you'll have a place with me
