Paid Thought

To pay without thought...
...the problem within cause...

...Pay to do nothing...

...Pay to do nothing...

...When on deaf ears cries for help...
...withdraw...

...How much should we pay...
...to do nothing...

...Pay to do nothing...

...Who holds mercy in contempt...

...disparage all meaning...
...understand without clause...

...How many pay without thought...

...The rules upon compiled...

...Minds in denial...

...Writing on the wall...

...With the accused called to account...

...With the loudest corrupt himself...

...How much are some paid to do nothing...
