Stand inert, Look to golden shores See the skyline â" corroding Thick with grease from the palms of those who are schooled in charm Use their weight as a lever, Then use the cleaver. Just in case, don't resist, hope they miss Always taking more than giving Always taking more than giving Always taking more than giving Spreading far, To the farthest shore Moving slowly, unimpeded Wake up to the fact that the dirt spreads farther then before It clings to the coast line, The stakes are rising From minute, to minute, to minute Take your grievance to the summit Take your grievance to the summit Get shot down on the tarmac The bubble bursts, There's burning plastic Obscuring the skyline How many ways does the same message need to be sent? The sands are shifting, the veil's lifted. Impetus will push us, don't give up And stop the wheels from turning And stop the wheels from turning And stop the wheels from turning
