Are you paying attention?!?
We are in a new Guilded Age Sucking the teats of the ultra-rich and powerful Holding our breath To ensure we survive While the elites get their spaceship The rest of us get cheap makeup Biding our time To hopefully survive Demigods with cattle prods Keep us all in line Silence the public voice So megalomaniacs get enshrined Battle-bruised hands stretch out Only to be removed in zip-ties Your questions will be ignored answers bathed in our frigid lies
