Shores of Elysium - Awaken the Sires lyrics

With each and every dollar spent, we dig out ditches deeper Each man a slave to bottomless debt until we meet the reaper Work your fingers to the bone to buy what you desire Years go by, you wish for time knowing you'll soon expire Looking back you'll realize you've wasted all your time When d**h comes knocking on your door, you won't leave with a dime Why are we wasting our lives? Make a stand, it's now or never Stand and fight, or suffer forever There's more to life than the fame and wealth you seek The dollar sign Suffocates your mind, infecting the thoughts you think Mankind as a whole has been overcome with noxious greed There's no time to stop and think with money to make and mouths to feed When will people realize their times not worth a paycheck Break your back and swell your mind for green pieces of paper Minds of men misguided by ma**ive amounts of money Hearts of man consumed by greed, and insatiable gluttony The federal reserve Is a clever guise hidden in plain sight A single word Sailed a scandal overhead like a f**ing kite We've spent too much time putting all our faith in corruption Fat cats with Cheshire grins have ensured mankind's destruction
