Lyrics
Oligarchy of the Masses
Lyrics and Music by Victor Snow, 2015
Lay the blame for all your failures
At the feet of your betters
(It's all right, not your fault, it's all beyond your control)
The 1% holds you down,
Or maybe it's the 47
(Don't matter, as long as we can find a scapegoat for your plight
Give me your trembling hand
We're one vote away from the promised land!
An Oligarchy of the Masses
Constructed by the middle classes
Enabled by the very ones
Who claim they want to tear it all down, come on tear it on down.
It's the evil, godless heathens,
Profaning all that's holy
(It's all right, they won't win, but I'm the only one who can stop them now )
It's the hating hypocrites,
Fighting to keep you in your place
(Don't matter, they'll die off, and leave the world to enlightened minds)
Can't you almost smell the victory?
But I need cash before delivery!
An Oligarchy of the Masses
Constructed by the middle classes
Enabled by the very ones
Who claim they want to tear it all down, come on tear it on down.
I am your savior, come down to save you, never mind you've heard this all before
Get behind my banner, I'll count the spoils, while you fight the phantom enemy
An Oligarchy of the Masses
Constructed by the middle classes
Enabled by the very ones
Who claim they want to tear it all down, come on now tear it on down.
Oligarchy of the masses
Carried on the backs of asses
Worker drones, lobotomized
Carrying the water for their slave master overlords
You ain't tearing it down, you ain't tearing it down
You ain't tearing it down, you ain't tearing it down
You ain't tearing it down, you ain't tearing it down
