lyrics

Eternal Mantra

And here we go again
The same old song, because nothing changed

world suffering in a pandemic
people losing all hope and will
livelihood and existence endangered
by a virus that randomly kills

except those who have plenty
living happily ever after
like the leeches that they are
nourishing on the blood of the many

Rich getting even richer
while the poor are left to die
and to mock those who suffer
philanthropy is sold as the generous cure

This is not a conspiracy
this was not arranged in the shadows
it's the child we birthed in the open
by a game called "winners and losers"

Win, Win, the eternal Mantra
Of the victorious leeches
Unending Miasma
Until all resistance breaches
Tax, Tax the rich and decadent
the endless battlecry
It's sung by all dissidents
Fuck winning if justice dies

As long as there are winners there will be those with broken backs
because if one has much, another one has naught
so fuck winning, let's all live in dignity

Don't give away 1% of your hoard and call it charity
you live in a mansion and the slums have nothing to eat
Don't give away 1% of your hoard and call that charity
the few have more than the many, your donations are a fucking joke
Don't give away 1% of your hoard and call that charity

Fuck your eternal Mantra and fuck winning,
let everyone live in dignity

Win, Win, the eternal Mantra
Of the victorious leeches
Unending Miasma
Until all resistance breaches
Tax, Tax the rich and decadent
the endless battle cry
It's sung by all dissidents
Fuck winning if justice dies

When will you fucking losers finally stop dreaming of winning and scream with us to tax the rich
When will you finally stop listening to all those demagogues preaching of some made up threat coming for your made up wealth
