Capitalism Unchecked

You wear virtue on your sleeve But you often wear nothing at all Showing scars of thousands of years When corrupt leaders beat you But they could never kill you So you survived the centuries You masquerade as a maryr To the displaced masses You offer the guise of salvation But greed feeds your desire We should be happy We should be dancing They say we have it all While others endure the fall We feared the loyalists We feared the little green men We feared those in the hijab For as long as we fear We shall never see the truth Of our own looming demise You always sell pretty lies To disguise an ugly truth The scales remain imbalanced And resentment festers We're gears in the machine And no matter how many Throw themselves between the gears The machine never stops But now it's so odious So sick at heart we don't take part We're the land of opportunity Unless you're a minority Unless you're a woman Unless you're a Muslim Unless you're poor Wealth concentration A planet slowly dying You survived the centuries But you do not bring us salvation You bring us damnation
