lyrics

Only People

" And is man any the less destroying himself for all this boasted brain of his."
Drug wars drone strikes
" And I tell you in the arts of life man invents nothing."
Credit theft and credit debt
How much do you owe
Indentured to the banks
This stone
" This marvelous force of life of which you boast is a force of death."
Bleeds red not green
Modern economy
All the treasures that you see
That's an illusion we all feed
Burn your money
Burn your flag
There are no nations
No borders
Only people
I sell my soul for paper
Feed the lie that hides the truth
The flag you see is just a piece of cloth
" There is nothing in man's industrial machinery but his greed and sloth."
" Man measures his strength by his destructiveness."
Modern economy
Everyone's a freelance whore
I am not calling whores out
I am the biggest whore no doubt
I am just wondering whose to blame
" The inventor of the rack the steak the gallows the electric chair."
Whose to blame
For the pain and disease
And the death and fear
And violence
" Of sword and gun and poison gas."
Crime and misery
Starvation
Blood and grief
And shame and heartbreak
And need
All the need
" His heart."
War
" Is in his weapons."
Genocide
Oppression
Oppression
Commission
