lyrics

Bastards

They’ll buy up the harvest
Keep half off the market
Jack up the price
Maximize profit

Wait for the old
And co-opt the young, see
Write off the dying
Short-list the hungry
Then patent the seeds to ration the starving
We all will be harmed now
We should be alarmed now

Bastards

They’re eating souls
While measuring heart rates
Such are the ways
Of devils in deep states

They’ll start the storms
And open the floodgates
They’re shearing off mountains
They push around earthquakes
They don’t much care that everyone hates them
They seem to think that a new dawn awaits them

Bastards

Fierceness of lions
The filing of mourners
Shadows of vengeance
Crouched in the corners

They’ll sell us the seeds back
But the new seeds won’t grow
Disagreement of experts
Nobody knows

Stock market won’t open, it’s starting to snow
A whole world that reviles them, despises them so
No limits to the lies that they told us
Just a use-by date stamped
On the beautiful future they sold us

Bastards
