Root of All Evil Lyrics


The economies of greed

Strengthened by the politics of fear

And the division among the masses

Used as a tool for domination

Root of all evil

Root of all evil

While the one-percenters get wealthier

Millions don’t get enough food for the day

State policies are rigged to the benefits

Of those who own most of world’s money

When eight richest ones possess the same wealth

As the bottom 3.6 billion people*

This is no longer just a matter of inequality

We know the system allows this to happen

Worshiping Mammon along with its demons

To strengthen deeds revolving around greed

Money and power, forming evil coalition

Where cruelties start, and decency ends

Root of all evil

Root of all evil

Who are they to ever claim of possessing every right

To exploit the beauty that has been given to us?

All they do is to venture into the heights of corruption

Taking all the resources so future generations will be left to die

Time of destruction has begun

Watch the downfall of the empire
