[ti:Disparity by Design] |
| [00:26:00] |
All the way at the bottom |
| [00:29:00] |
Of the barrels we cry out |
| [00:31:59] |
So ashamed of our tears that |
| [00:35:00] |
We blame only ourselves |
| [00:37:00] |
That's when they win |
| [00:39:00] |
They keep us convinced |
| [00:40:40] |
To lift up our chins |
| [00:42:00] |
These playing fields are level |
| [00:43:00] |
We all have a chance |
| [00:44:59] |
With that they dismiss |
| [00:46:00] |
The fast lanes they rode |
| [00:48:00] |
In which access depends |
| [00:49:59] |
On who you know |
| [00:52:00] |
Or where you came from |
| [00:53:40] |
Whose daughter are you? |
| [00:55:00] |
Whose fortunate son? |
| [00:56:00] |
We're told |
| [00:58:00] |
To stick out our thumbs |
| [00:59:40] |
They feast from the linens |
| [01:01:00] |
While we settle for crumbs |
| [01:06:00] |
Is this an over-reaching arm? |
| [01:10:59] |
Or is this compassion? |
| [01:12:00] |
Is this a handout undeserved? |
| [01:16:59] |
Or a just reparation? |
| [01:19:00] |
(A just reparation) |
| [01:24:00] |
All the way from the towers |
| [01:27:00] |
High above glass ceilinged tombs |
| [01:30:00] |
Tell themselves |
| [01:31:50] |
That they've earned this |
| [01:33:00] |
By working hard |
| [01:35:00] |
And playing by the rules |
| [01:37:59] |
But this is only part true |
| [01:39:59] |
A dangerous trick |
| [01:40:40] |
Played on me and you |
| [01:42:00] |
And so like a practical joke |
| [01:45:00] |
We pulled on these bootstraps |
| [01:48:00] |
So hard that they broke |
| [01:53:00] |
Is this an over-reaching arm? |
| [01:57:00] |
Or is this compassion? |
| [01:58:00] |
Is this a handout undeserved? |
| [02:02:00] |
Or a just reparation? |
| [02:06:00] |
And like a single domino |
| [02:08:00] |
That falls while the rest stay vertical |
| [02:11:00] |
We're fed these empty fairytales |
| [02:15:50] |
Oh will you believe them? |
| [02:20:00] |
And if there's a God |
| [02:22:00] |
You better pray |
| [02:25:50] |
That this sleeping giant never wakes |
| [02:29:00] |
If we just took a step back |
| [02:32:00] |
A bigger picture we might view |
| [02:36:00] |
Perhaps the man in the gutte |
| [02:39:00] |
Is not so different from you |
| [02:42:00] |
Come in, out of the cold |
| [02:48:00] |
Forget all that you know |
| [02:52:00] |
Because there's always been room |
| [02:55:50] |
By the fire for you, oh |
| [03:00:00] |
Come in, out of the cold |
| [03:13:59] |
Will you believe them? |
| [03:16:00] |
Is this an over-reaching arm? |
| [03:20:00] |
Or is this compassion? |
| [03:22:00] |
Is this a handout undeserved |
| [03:26:00] |
Or a just reparation? |
| [03:28:50] |
And like a single domino |
| [03:31:00] |
That falls while the rest stay vertical |
| [03:34:00] |
We're fed these empty fairy tales |
| [03:39:00] |
And I'm through believing |
