The Profiteers

What’s the point?
Not sure why
Should we give up trying?
What’s the point?
Not sure how
Have we lost the way?
Is there something better worth striving
or is it a sad truth amplifying?
To the myths of consensus
The waves of propaganda to convince us
Everything is alright

What’s the point?
Not sure with what
Should we fight back?
What’s the point?
Not sure how
Could we find meaningful attacks?
There is something better worth striving
and there is a truth they’re hiding
Behind the myths of consensus
The waves of bullshit to sanitize us
Everything is not alright

Question all you’re told
Question all you’re sold

Our leaders have become nothing more than corporate sponsors
Bought and paid for with blood and sweat
Inciting class warfare with corporate welfare, we’re enslaved with debt
Our lives have become nothing more than replaceable resources
Bought and sold like a barrel of oil
Inciting class warfare with corporate welfare, we’re enslaved in toil
Over borders and other nations’ soil
We’re enslaved to the notion of freedom, can you find a reason
Do you really need your designer jeans, your reality TV, your gas guzzling SUV and your fucking Mickey Dees?
Do you really need your cell phones, your bank owned homes, your credit loans to keep you happy and free?
All we should really need is a little peace and the love of our families,
but enough is never enough...
