lyrics

Who is the victim, of our happiness? The winners and losers, in a global race.
A race to the bottom, a race to the top. When will it all end, how do we say stop?
A pawn of the system, the system of lies, a place where you stick needles in your eyes.
To remain ever young & never get old. But emptyness is gained when your happiness is sold.

They say there’s no evil men pullin them strings.
Poverty and misery’s just the way of things.
There ain’t no alternative, no easy way out.
Brainwashed servants, make me wanna shout!

Who is the victim, of our happiness? Our pointless consumption, your dollar a day.
Globalised and advertised, to fuel our greed, to create and maintain, constructed needs.
Because god forbid if we find our own way, through the selling of religion, you make us pray
For an alternative to us playing this mime, of capitalist greed, another global crime.

We got to get over propaganda and lies
Or live our whole lives in a system we despise
