We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege
|
As they rewrite the labor laws to subjugate the poor
|
We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege
|
By sering our lords on the factory floor
|
We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege
|
Shouldering the tax breaks for the politically affluent
|
We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege
|
Setting the groundwork for our own social displacement
|
Privilege: the birthright of the ruling class
|
Lavished in luxury (is never enough) with more to amass
|
Social conscience takes a backseat to profit
|
And their trickle-down policies (are never enough) never emit
|
The elite stuff themselves like pigs at the trough
|
While the scraps from their tables (are never enough) are tapering off
|
If you're born at the bottom life can be tough
|
But when you're on top of the world then it's never enough
|
We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege
|
As we take another step closer towards privatization
|
We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege
|
Blinded by the daily grind we miss the correlation
|
We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege
|
Lay off millions of workers to increase the stock market average
|
We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege
|
As they slaughter the workforce and dine on the carnage
|

If you're born at the bottom life can be tough
|
But when you're on top of the world then it's never enough
|
Opening their checkbooks, buying and selling lives
|
Human dignity is sacrificed but the status quo survives
|
Stepping on the poor to lift profit margins higher
|
Gutting social programs to build empire after empire
|
Enslaved by the industrialists as opportunities falter
|
Standing on the ruins of those buried by the dollar
|
They insure that our standard of living will continue depleting
|
Because an unemployed workforce keeps the masses competing
|
We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege
|
As they export the job market with cut-throat ambition
|
We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege
|
We're baited in the retrace by this classist tradition
|
We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege
|
We're lost in the debris of a global plutocracy
|
We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege
|
Because we're all scavengers of a trickle-down economy
|
