The Force Majeure |
On shift from 9 to 5 |
And then from 6 to 3 |
Steals the soul; |
machine forever turning |
Class rebellion |
Under our noses |
The boss is feeding on living corpses |
Their broken backs |
Call for us to rise |
But for now we’ll all just smile and sympathize |
Denied our movement |
Now lost, replaced by fear |
We ask nothing less then settle for nothing more |
Behold the capitalist |
Bathing in the blood |
Of the working class |
Martyrs bleed |
Until spoken to |
Vultures get fat from the harness coup |
Revolution |
Another empty promise |
Of the leftist elite |
Frustration |
Another soul is crushed |
Under the rulers' feet |
And as the boot is forced |
Into their teeth |
Our safety |
Is their defeat |
Your station has been assigned |
Your rebellion will be confined |
Your rebellion will be confined |
Your rebellion will be confined |
Your rebellion will be confined |
Tired doctrines |
Killing just as many |
As the leaders that they decry |
Their backs |
All well patted |
For a job well done |
Without the use of their spines |
Indentured servants |
Without the shackles |
Calloused hands and drying hearts |
Rise up and destroy |
The disease |
That stole your soul |
