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//
"quite an experience to live in fear isn't it?
thats what it is to be a slave"
