Rightly Jennings Poet Lyric

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
