Capitalism is a flawed system that sits at the root of many human issues. It is a lie built by those who profited off our labour and those that still do, tricking enough of us into working ourselves till death for the promise of riches that will never come so that those who do not believe in the system are too outnumbered to act upon what they believe. In a perfect capitalist system how hard we work determines how much wealth we deserve, and how much wealth we have is our worth in society. However, is a system in which extreme poverty not only exists on a huge scale, but is directly caused by the wealthy an equal one? And if it is not an equal society, and we are still viewed as only our wealth the rich set themselves up as some sort of superior class to be torn down.

Lyrics

We are slaves to money // we are in chains for money // we are controlled by money // and there's nothing we can do
Money is us // we are money // money's our worth // its all we are // in the eyes of the system // and we are victims

Our lives // have been tied // to capital // with no choice at all // our lives // chained to a wall // wealth as survival // buy our lives away

In the eyes of the system we are money // by the hands of capital we are products // mistreatments built into currency // abuse is the foundation of economy // power is wealth // power is control // in the eyes of the system we are sold

Buy // Gloat // Get // Bloat // Consume // exalt // docile // abuse

Forced to consume your hands are tied // Rich don't spare a fucking thought // cos money isn't earnt its bought

Money isn't equal // money's our worth // you buy death // you buy famine // The more you have // The more you get // If you have less // If you don't have shit

The system doesn't care about how you live.
