6. Apathy as Arsenic Lethargy as Lead
Are you all in? All in closes copulating!
All threaded screws to get you repopulating
a choked engine of stupor and static
These days;
may these days, as milestone collars, fail to drag us further down
While lashed;
here while lashed to arsenic eating, sinking fast with leaden bones
All hosts;
owning isn't earning, it's a wound open to sate each leech
O, lust;
to gorge on endless blood, two thousand parasitic Billionaire men
With workers bleeding, the horse is beaten
God forbid that you should ever want a home
"You'll shine like a diamond when your down in the mine!"
And if there's any whose eagerness
To trample beleaguered and
Deteriorated outpaces their empathy;
You'll find a place in the ever-increasing;
The holds over hollow-eyed hands
The flesh tearing flesh from the famished and failing;
The Ouroboros, the unquenchable thirst
Crushing the heads of the last to be first
Halls humour on the all-scaffold;
all the world's a stage on which the working class is hanged
They say men are hanged while meat is hung,
but it's apparent how the ones a-struggling, strung,
are seen; so much brawn swinging
from capital's very beams
WE ARE THE CULT OF WORK
WE ARE THE CULT OF LABOUR SOLD
WE ARE THE CULT OF WORK
WE ARE THE CULT OF SIPHONED GOLD
All threaded screws to get you repopulating
a choked engine of stupor and static
These days;
may these days, as milestone collars, fail to drag us further down
While lashed;
here while lashed to arsenic eating, sinking fast with leaden bones
All hosts;
owning isn't earning, it's a wound open to sate each leech
O, lust;
to gorge on endless blood, two thousand parasitic Billionaire men
With workers bleeding, the horse is beaten
God forbid that you should ever want a home
"You'll shine like a diamond when your down in the mine!"
And if there's any whose eagerness
To trample beleaguered and
Deteriorated outpaces their empathy;
You'll find a place in the ever-increasing;
The holds over hollow-eyed hands
The flesh tearing flesh from the famished and failing;
The Ouroboros, the unquenchable thirst
Crushing the heads of the last to be first
Halls humour on the all-scaffold;
all the world's a stage on which the working class is hanged
They say men are hanged while meat is hung,
but it's apparent how the ones a-struggling, strung,
are seen; so much brawn swinging
from capital's very beams
WE ARE THE CULT OF WORK
WE ARE THE CULT OF LABOUR SOLD
WE ARE THE CULT OF WORK
WE ARE THE CULT OF SIPHONED GOLD
