I thought you'd better know How building ladders from everyone and everything you find Won't get you higher, Because as you'll eat yourself filthy rich The weight of your arrogance will bring us down. Oh no, now don't you go thinking you'll be spared.
And you all yelled in some hollow din As divine digits overpowered your self-sold souls.
But kings, they always died alone, Pissing themselves once and for all.
So save yourself, Don't sell yourself again, Or your desolate heart will fail.
And then you realized you had a sword around your neck You aimed around at everyone you met. Your cars were tanks to crush us all And the fancier the angrier. Friends were frames to adorn your walls And the more the merrier, Or so we went for. But as you wrecked the Hesperus* The ship you claimed to helm, As our tethered figures dangled from its mast And you blurted out some harrowing defense About how you thought it was for the best, Oh, you knew, you knew we'd pity you, You and your genocidal profitability You and your self-proclaimed superiority.
