A song about how the future of my generation and the ones who will come after us has been sold by the entrenched capitalist elite to make a quick buck. At times, it seems hopeless. This song carries that feeling and is meant to express wrath and disgust towards the people who destroyed our future to make the past more comfortable for them, and who now force the responsibility of building a suistainable world on us while still expecting us to respect them because they feel entitled to it.
Like a small toddler expecting praise for trashing the living room and smearing shit all over the walls, but with power, wealth and a nuclear arsenal.
lyrics
[VERSE 1]
capitalistic democracy is a lie,
it's pornography that we're fed til' we die
the oligarchy feeds you thoughts with a smile
til' they got a monopoly on your mind
total control is their goal
to engulf every last piece of soul
and to swallow you whole
and to endlessly grow all their wealth is their answer to death
yet the only thing forever growing is cancer
spineless, disgusting men
expect all of us just to look up to them
and to blindly keep walking the path that they lead us down
just so that they can bleed us out
lifeblood for money, drop by drop
is the exchange that they offer their flock
unaware that we'll die we are blissfuly blind
I invite you to see the pain, just fucking open your eyes!
[BRIDGE]
we are the ones with open eyes
we are the lost ones left to die
the ones where darkness claims our mind
just as the day retracts the light
we are here to make things right
and yet we struggle to survive
and pacify the pain inside
just to make it through the night
[HOOK]
just to make it through the night
YOU TOOK THE FUTURE FROM US
- WE ARE THE LOST ONES -
as the day retracts the light
VULTURES CIRCLING ABOVE
- WE ARE THE LOST ONES -
we are the ones with open eyes
STRUCTURE TURNING TO DUST
- WE ARE THE LOST ONES -
until the darkness claims our lives
we are the lost ones left to die
[VERSE 02]
The fate that the owner class intends for us
is to endlessly toil for their wealth and thus
work ourselves into dust - no resistance
tho those who rule the world from a distance
we are but flock to them
just a means to an end to exploit and then
be destroyed
shoutout to Marx, it's death to the Markets,
either you're a target demographic or a target
born in this world that just measures your worth
by whether or not you are able to work and to serve
and to purchase, the purpose of your whole existence:
enriching those who benefit from the system
capitalism, let's stop to pretend that
it's broken, it works as intended
enriching the rich, gobbling up all the rest
who while struggling to live grind themselves to their death
into meat paste, oh the bittersweet taste
of human feeds a system that's entirely greed-based
no sustainability in it
and the rich get to live while the rest of the world goes to shit
that is our future.
it's painful to say it
but only those who know
have the power to change shit
pain is the price of our dignity
the price of open eyes is you have to see
