Right makes might
versus
Might makes right
the equation we wander around within
with no fucking idea how to math our way out
power bases have to get that might somewhere
they take bits of each of us
build gated communities out of our flesh
tremble tremble tan polished man
your substance is composed by designer labels
and we are shutting those sweat shops down
taking the diamond tierra's off your princesses
tossing them into the vat of blood
where they belong
YOUR LIFESTYLE IS KILLING US
huff on by in an Ayn Rand Rage of righteous indignation
I take slim comfort in the thought that People all look the same
after the guilty verdict
it will come too late
too late
too late
i don't blame dogs for being dogs
or humans for being humans
Your children's children
will lack the grace of my denial
as they wage daily wars to merely survive
the shifts of population
the rationing of breathable air
the unfairness of living in slums within sight of the Billionaires barricaded oasis's
the more money they have
the more might they can buy
private armies of lawyers and lobbyists
politicians, cops and spies
criminals and front organizations and newspapers, tv stations ...
sad ass economics
the naked math
charting our demise
we need to use less
and go down fighting for a few extra bucks to buy more
will lack the grace of my denial
as they wage daily wars to merely survive
the shifts of population
the rationing of breathable air
the unfairness of living in slums within sight of the Billionaires barricaded oasis's
the more money they have
the more might they can buy
private armies of lawyers and lobbyists
politicians, cops and spies
criminals and front organizations and newspapers, tv stations ...
sad ass economics
the naked math
charting our demise
we need to use less
and go down fighting for a few extra bucks to buy more
