lyrics

The greatest trick ever played is still working every year
That the powerful are not the enemy
Exploit the growing rage, blame everyone they fear
Now the melting pot is burning from the heat

‘Cause if they’re desperate enough, then they’ll believe anything
From scheme to shining scheme

We’re not gonna make it through this together
‘Cause we’re not even gonna try
All we can hope for is a break in the pressure
And hope some of us make it out alive

It’s best to measure someone’s worth by how much they can provide
Don’t treat them with humanity
Give the people just enough so they stay alive
The dead don’t help the GDP

It’s in everyone’s best interest to make the people bleed
From greed to shining greed

We’re not gonna make it through this together
‘Cause we’re not even gonna try
All we can hope for is a break in the pressure
And hope some of us make it out alive

We spend our whole lives with our mouths open wide
Still waiting for that trickle down
Who cares if the boats are being lifted by the tide
When we’re stuck in the water trying not to drown?

We’re not gonna make it through this together
We're never even gonna try
All we can hope for is a break in the pressure
And hope some of us make it out alive
