The Idea of Poverty Lyrics


The whole weight of this world

It bears down unto you

Manipulation of our governments

Profit preaching providence

The cost for you to live

A price you can't afford

The body bags they fill each day

They were forced to live this way

Covet resources

Profit off our needs

The disregard for life

Spreading the disease

Privatize your social systems

Buying out your rights

Modern day slavery

A product of poverty

Like time controls the things we've done

It will never let us back

Like time controls the things we've done

We will never come again

It's what we do right here and right now

That sets us on our path

The choice is ours to take this leap

To shape this world for harmony

Covet resources

Profit off our needs

The disregard for life

Spreading the disease

The pyramid, that represents

The pain and misery

The ones who sit upon its top

Their hearts are filled with greed

There is no room for you and me

Its only give or take

In a world where children starve at night

The idea of poverty

This global conspiracy

Expose their treachery

Light will prevail here

Awaken your mind's eye

This world is ours

Seek to expose the truth

The power of thought

It holds weight over you

Like the weight that they held over us

This world is awakening

Sick of the suffering

Change is calling for you

For you

For you
