Can’t afford the rich no more - your psychopathic greed.
You never had to struggle, with the lifestyles that you lead.
You never had to suffer, you never had to feel.
You never had to choose between your food or pay the bills.
They took it by force - they did it with stealth.
You talk of freedom, pursuing all wealth?
You’re given one chance if you’re willing and able;
to sit up and beg for the crumbs from the table.
If you’re willing and able; you’ll get the crumbs from the table.
If you’re strong and you’re stable; and believe in their fables.
Sit up and fight - your blood it should boil!
Or lay down and suffer a lifetime of toil.
The system's a farce, you’ve got nobody fooled;
if you close our eyes, then they’ll always rule.
Aspiration to lies - all power is guarded;
they gave us nothing - why should the advantaged?
Sold an illusion - told we are free;
dangled a carrot - social mobility.
Scale a ladder - believe in their fables.
Suck on freedom and the crumbs from their table.
