This is how the rich win the war
this is how the rich win the war
this is how the rich win the war
magnifying differences,
triggering all prejudice
this is how the rich win the war
this is why you're destined to lose
reflecting what has been before
figuring there is no more
this is why we're destined to lose
these mind machinations
way out on a limb
they' tightening the vice
my head caves in
this is how the rich win the war
success will surely destroy you
there's no other way around it
you will leave it like you found it
success will certainly kill you
these mind machinations
telling me I cannot win
my head is in the the vice
still the light gets in
this is why we're destined to lose
this is how the rich when the war
they will eat you alive
slowly 'cause they' got no teeth
it begins on the inside
'till you're prayin' for release
this is how the rich win the war
