lyrics

Well the thugs have laid down their guns for the mightier banker's pen
When you pick apart this one my friend, its hard to pretend
Where the greenbacks come
Where the greenbacks go
All hail the rabbit hole
There is no prize nor medal for those who expose the devil's toll

Deep within the history
Deep within the sands
The barons of contention with their bloody hands
Found the light that was meant for all
Had sold the light that was meant for all

Teething are we in this recent age
For our reason beckons us beyond the moral stage
The lever is broke
The path is set
Don't cry my child I will not let you forget

With the sun beating down onto your face
It wasn't long before the glory of this faster pace
Had entailed us all to thinking that our dreams could be replaced
Somehow

We were soaring so high up in the clouds
With wings made of paper we were all so proud
Then the masters we had put in place
Had locked our dreams inside a safe
So you could look but never taste them all

Let's take our ramblings and cast out to sea
Lives in shambles its not just me
With every second another mask facade
Spinning weaving breathing their beautiful fraud

I do not need this
I do not trust this
Baby face money love me kiss
The cunning broker with the evil twist
Sings the songs of his comrades with a waving fist

We come from the old world
We've survived the the great Deluge
There's nothing under your bed baby
Just us pricing you
