The Hidden Enemy of Society
yes i despise the rich
who judge us from their skyscraping castles and lavish abodes
who could stand and make a change
but would rather stand back and collect change
yes i hate the rich
who contribute nothing but delusions on which the youth trip
convincing them to work till they drop
just so their own corporate machine doesnt stop
yes i detest the rich
with fake faces that tell lies to us all
they tell us they care but they’d rather be in space than here
because they brought the end that is near
while the poor go hungry and weary
what must be done becomes more and more clear
our mouths are empty
but its fine because when we eat the rich? there will be plenty
