Capital Lies

More beef then a rapper in a field full of cattle
Turn to meat for the patty what he be — corporate lackey
Fat cats, we’re the servers
Where his party?
Making mergers
Rat race running fast, beat like drum tracks
Shittiest Canadian paid in tax
Things ain’t even Steven, think our leader is a demon
Don’t just stand and sing allegiance, grab the power while it teeters
I see 51 reasons to speak up!
Calling all people, trying to reach you through these speakers
Speak it loud as amphitheatres keep this looping and repeating
It’s long march to freedom, better bring some extra sneakers
New era — its official
Aim like a pistol, voice is dangerous as missile
Write a single, sending ripples, keep it moving we’re not cripples
Grab change by the fist full, more pissed then a pit bull
All eyes on the capital they capitalize
They want more power to watch us, the capital’s eyes
But the capital lies, the capital lies
Capitalize on the fears of our times
With capital on their minds
Flexing panopticon principles, invincible
Indivisible minds of many men are miserable
Individualistic and cryptic in quotations
When the questions come about exactly who has paid them
Who sets the agenda, who are the pretenders to the throne
Who is in the house but will deny someone a home
Who is all alone and who will lend a helping hand
Who is in control and who will rise to make a stand
Who will make a plan and who will execute it
Who will see that something’s wrong and struggle to remove it
Who will do more than make a fucking post
Who will ask more of their chosen holy ghost
Is it you, or is it easier to make excuses?
Is it me and EMC, or is it all just useless?
Is it us or is it them or is it even worth the time
Do we take it to the capital when we see them cross the line?
All eyes on the capital they capitalize
They want more power to watch us, the capital’s eyes
But the capital lies, the capital lies
Capitalize on the fears of our times
With capital on their minds
