lyrics

born into slavery
you grew up in a factory
while we buy the lie
we own the land
prop up a fiat currency
Christmas trees and NFT's
we're all for sale
body parts in shopping carts
we sit waiting for the mail
now the arrogance of science
that's led us all astray
and all we once held sacred
we've come now to betray

on top of a world beneath a prairie sun
the underground is where the mountains run
and when the sun sets it's like your on a sea
with a billion shining lights of possibility

now all the bells are ringing
there;s no time left to play
the shadows on tomorrow
are the failed yesterdays

still we can go out singing
we've got no where left to aim
choking on the dead air
now we're circling the drain
