I measure time in paydays
In a standard emotional state of rage surpressed
Running low on hope, high on exhaustion
The lament of the hamster in it`s wheel of gold
My place in history so shameful that it hurts
I`ve got to numb my empathy or violently explode
With plastic in my guts and blood dripping from my hands
I`ll probably die of cancer, I`ve got no better plans
No better plans, no better plans
I am the hamster in future, present, past
Born to be a servant, disposable at last
Too distracted to really ever care
Morally dysfunctional, an empty shell

Bottleneck

Life is fucking short and time is running fast
No fucking future but certain fucking death
Not pleased with the present, not proud of the past
The end of the anthropocene - how long will you last?
The shape of things to come is a tight bottleneck
What does that mean for you? What does that mean for you?
Will you make it through?
Involuntary accomplice, doomed to destroy
Involuntary accomplice, doomed to die
Life is fucking short and time is running fast
The end of the anthropocene - how long will you last

Dead Billionaires

Working class ain`t nothing to fuck with
Working class ain`t nothing to fuck with
Expropriation the old fashioned way
Guillotines in politics to cause trickle down economics
Redistribution of the accumulated wealth
The highest interest rates, their blood on our blades
Mark my words, soon come the day
To watch the rolling heads, the billionaires are dead
The profiteers of the war on the poor
The war on the poor, war on the poor
Working class ain`t nothing to fuck with
Working class ain`t nothing to fuck with

How much can one carry on their shoulders `til she breaks down to her knees?
How myna blows of fate to destroy her? to destroy her?
Grief is weakness.
To carry the others on your fragile back is the task you have been chosen for
Grief turns to hate, hate becomes insanity
At what cost? At what price?
Never finding peace no matter how deep you`re digging
No matter how hard you work for healing
Carry on, just a little further on your way
Carry on, `til you die one day
Carry on, just a little further on your way
Carry on, `til you die one day

Slaves of the 21. century
Worse than you`d fathom it could ever be
The primitive merges with technology
And the voiceless are exploited law and orderly
Negative feedback loop
8 billion riders of the apocalypse
Homo inhumanus - yee haw
We`re the 99% locally but we`re the 1% globally
So uncomfortable comfartably, fucked to the point of no recovery
The habitable zone wasted on a species of selfish jerks
We deserve to fry - straight forward consequence
We deserve to die - from our ignorance
We deserve to fry - punishment for our arrogance
We deserve to die - yee haw

Treadmill Death

Die for Wall Street or die on Mars
Die `cause you were born in the wrong fucking place
Or die for dying gods
This is what you paid for - this is what you get
Die for your government, die for your job
Die by fucking climate change or die in a random war
This is what you paid for - this is what you get
This is what you paid for but you can`t afford it
Die for money or die for fame
Die for an ideal that will inevitably corrupt
Die to escape the pain

The Highest Stake

How much longer will you sit idly by and watch it all burn?
How much longer will you exept theit lies, corruption and abuse of power?
How many more completely innocent victims does it take before we finally aboloish capitalism?
And wouldn`t that be worse than starting right fucking now?
Revolution or apocalypse!
