Them

spook300

Welcome to a nightmare
Where evil is abound
And the rich elites
Are wearing the crown

Ruling with an iron fist
With the plans they contrive
Killing us slowly
While they all thrive

Controlling what we see
Controlling what we do
Can we stop this insanity
Before our lives are through

Looking down on us
With cold, soulless eyes 
Let's not fight each other
For it's them we despise

Some may believe
That we have a choice 
But in reality
We have no voice

People who speak out
Seem to disappear 
Leaving some of us
In constant fear

Slaves to the system
Don't get out of line
Or you too may vanish 
Before your time

Buy our products
Follow our rules
Do they think
We're a bunch of fools

Vote for who you want
But it won't matter
They control everything 
And your hopes will shatter

Spreading lies and deceit
What a fucking joke
Corrupting society
I really hope they choke

Taking everything 
Taking all that we own
These despicable actions
We cannot condone

We must take a stand
Against these rich pricks
But it's so very hard
For they know all the tricks

Stop fighting one another
And focus on them
Our world is failing
Because of all the mayhem

I would really like to see
A world without ado
A world of peace and love
How about you?
