Their Web of Lies

Their web of lies

The lies they keep on telling you

Spinning truth

Drowning in prop they keep selling you

Robbing you

Of the hours of your one and only life

Breeding contempt, distrust

Fomenting strife

And what's the price?

The cost of shrugging blame

The cost of the avoiding shame

The cost of their slavers game

The road to hell is paved with good intent

But if you refuse to step up

We'll all default on the rent

We may all be in this together

But you use me like a check so you can spend forever

You don't ask me for permission

You just assume and forcefully take

And when I fight to keep something for myself,

you claim I'm evil for keeping what I make

You want your living off the labors of others

Condescend to us about how we're all brothers

A brother wouldn't hold a gun to my head for wealth

No destroy my property or sacrifice my health

You can't force compliance and pretend it's success

That's how dictators think, a bully at best

You can't drown our children while claiming its fine

Now they're smothered in debt and running out of time

The clock is ticking, the end is near

The world enslaved in poverty and fear

They us blame to divide us, while they cower and hide

And we're destroying ourselves in their web of lies
