Wealth is a sick man’s game. | |
Those who have it and those who hunger for it. | |
To the victor go the spoils of fame—those who seek it, and those who abhor it. | |
Evil is a very real concept, boiling in the bellies of the graceful. | |
Toiling in the fortress in their complex, to our employers we are faithful. | |
A number arises and there’s a spark in the eye, obscuring the vision, clouding the mind. | |
“I am the authority on who deserves what. | |
To continue your prosperity, you’ve gotta pay a little cut. | |
We’ll be ruthless and cutthroat and get what we deserve. | |
We’ll remove each tooth from each swollen mouth and finger at the nerve.” When a hand makes a fist, sometimes knuckles crack and break. | |
When that fist strikes the ground, the plates will shift, the Earth will shake. Knuckle bones now exposed—true intention, self serving goals. | |
Bank accounts that tell of rape. | |
The plates will shift, the Earth will shake. | |
Evil is a very real concept, dancing in the diner to your upset. | |
Sharing drinks and laughing through their teeth. | |
Their only success is our defeat. | |
So drape yourself in the finest velvets, cape, mask, and tights, and jump from the closest, tallest building and reach new heights. | |
Revel in the adoration you acquire. Dive into the altruism you inspire. | |
Then sit back and pour a drink, relax cause no one sees the other half. The same qualities that you despise are the qualities you personify. | |
Dig deep and find your buried heart. I know it’s in there somewhere. | |
Acquisition isn’t all there is, and no one’s too broken they can’t be repaired. Revisions of histories et al. abound. | |
It flatters me now. It flatters me now… | |
”Hey spin that song back, it’s my favourite. It flatters me now.” |
