We Fell
(160 bpm)
You spent, then borrowed, stole, just made it up
You sold our futures, over and over.
If we complained, just lock us up.
When the dominoes fell, vanished like a pleasured lover.
Chorus (240 bpm)
We were lied to, stole from, made dependent
Us vs them - fostered on every divide
Distracted by their media while we couldn't pay the rent
Not blameless either we voted to have our pockets lined
(160 bpm)
Claimed we were harming the climate,
Forced our actions changed, funding their contributor's pledge.
No research funded that does not fill their plate,
And buying mansions on the water's edge.
Chorus (240 bpm)
We were lied to, stole from, made dependent
Us vs them - fostered on every divide
Distracted by their media while we couldn't pay the rent
Not blameless either we voted to have our pockets lined
(160 bpm)
The economies collapse, people riot and starve
Governments fold, their structures gutted, power shuttered.
Past comforts fail, bullets fly, a new path to carve
The world shrinks, lives become local, lies unuttered.
Chorus (60 bpm)
We were lied to, stole from, made dependent
Us vs them - fostered on every divide
Distracted by their media while we couldn't pay the rent
Not blameless either we voted to have our pockets lined
Outro, spoken, steadily fading out from full volume to a bare whisper at the end
(starts 160 bpm rapidly falling in tempo with the volume)
Dupes, fools and accomplices all
look without, look within, look out, fight back
