Lucky you
You came out untarnished
With all your highbrow friends
In your white-bred ways
Making hand over fist
Topping the list
Thoughts and prayers for days
Living large when conspiracy's king
Making bank from the chaos that it brings
Old tricks
Transfixed
The prey
The grift
Pimping out the devil's daughter
Still raising hell and high water
The ruling caste the spells we're under
Watch the pendulum
It swings, it swings, it swings and...
All the while the caged bird sings
You can't have nice things
The odds are stacked against you
The walls keep closing in
And one day to the next
It's either us or them
It's safety in numbers
The social siren cries
And you can see the madness
Behind their eyes
Its safety in numbers
The social siren cries
The hive mind's algorithm
As the needle stings
The concept of security
The so-called safety that it brings
And all the while the caged bird sings
You can't have nice things
