trading floors exploded, down arrows, red numbers// people losing everything, convinced that their world was ending, no small thanks to a lotta chest thumping// and paranoia, but thats a sensitive topic// cause on one hand homie lost his home, on the other hand, the ones who caused it go in and post record profits// that was just the tip of it, the icebergs vanished, species vanished daily// countries literally drowning, under the threat of an ecosystem failing// to cope, gave us enough rope, we were swaying by the days end// big business dollars bought slaves, blind eyes, coastlines, goldmines of ambivalence, digging our own graves then// no lie, oil fell from the sky, suffocated oceans blackened// eyes of the world on a room of conspirators, not one knew what happened// not one stood and hacked it, noone took blame// global crisis justified for private gain a world insane (that’s what it is to be a slave//
Every city// In every building// Sits another like me// Watching, waiting, watching, waiting//
they pushed us, tested our indifference, just to see how far they could milk it// and its funny cause the ones with the money didn’t care long as it was the one without who felt it// ha, they felt it alright, for lifetimes across all borders// smooth talkers, cold blooded, exploit it, export it// my generation, was caught between caring more than all that came before us// and a self induced apathy that almost tore us, destroyed us and brought us// to the brink, then we stopped to think, its crazy in age where// we could drop bombs via satellite we were too blind to the forces at play there, to stand up against their// willpower, to quick to cower in the face of conglomerates// and as the world hung there in the balance, enough said enough is enough about time we put a stop to this// straw by straw till they had a haystack, only took one more// to break the cycle, united took to the streets, to the halls of power, to the governments doors//
Every city// In every building// Sits another like me// Watching, waiting, watching, waiting// Every city// In every building// Sits another like me// Watching, waiting, watching, waiting//
its all a numbers game, but all the corporate wallet flashes// of financial strength couldn’t counter the power of the masses// when it came to the crunch, when the lust and greed threatened everything we lovee// divided they had us but fuck that man, push came to shove// and we beat the fucking cowards back, and under a shining sun// showed we could silence their influence, but try as they might they couldn’t silence love// cant silence love, let history shown how hard that war was won// so we may never know how close we’d really come, how close we’d really come//
