Moneye

Mon(Eye) They bless us with burdens Feed the rich and thriving Giving the poor scraps In a land burning green The trees dance in winds Collapsed by the wealthy Their leaves fall to the ground We sing songs of sorrow Those in power rejoice Our failure- their success We're in reality dreaming They're dreaming in reality The tough roads are cracked The easy roads are whole The hearts of many bleed The heartless suck it all up They feed their faces dollars While we feed ourselves coins Pure gold versus pure silver We're in a doomed race It's not an easy role to assume We're background characters Providing drama and humor The world is slowly crashing Oblivion is the answer to all Anarchy shows a face of snakes While we run around as headless chickens Wishing we could find salvation They call us all pessimists While we starve ourselves for bread The money towers are faltering As the oppressed raise fists Join a song with the pied piper Follow the songs of the wronged The unthinking majority we belong Those who feed us lies should flee The eyes we breed for money The lies we sow for our greed The capitalistic gain we never see Trapped in a heartless gray sea The time for anarchy is here Our dance will ignite the core Years of oppression burst We revel in the flames of tyranny
