Starving out the many while I only feed the few Maintain the wealth that keeps me in control of you Clean on the surface so you won't see my deceit Even though I'm slithering just beneath your feet Extend my reign into foreign lands Flexing my muscle anywhere I can I keep the power and swallow you whole Cutting off your life support, I follow through
From way up here my vision's distorted Cannot maintain what I once supported I keep you safe, secure, and protected Until my self-indulgence has been perfected
I am the state I decide your fate Deliver to all I bring the downfall
Making up your mind is everything I do Doing the right thing is never up to you Get you on board only to betray your trust I will cut you off when I say you've had enough
From way up here my vision's distorted Cannot maintain what I once supported I keep you safe, secure, and protected Until my self-indulgence has been perfected
I am the state I decide your fate Deliver to all I bring the downfall
I am the state I decide your fate Deliver to all I bring the downfall
