lyrics

Spilled blood treaties lost in a fog
IBRD & IDA
New investment, coup or war
We know you love it

Abscond all resources raw
Blackrock pointed made ya look
Nations spayed
By bourgeois arbitration
That's invasion

Gendarme, Ayn Rand Colonial
Deimos, Phobos, Ahriman
In suits, serve Lamashtu
World Bank, The Devil's Wet Work

(The sermon's getting on my nerves)
White Man brings that bible through
He just caught a lick
(God's words are for the servant class)
When that new sanction drops
You are starving or in debt

Platinum, chromium, salt
Phosphate rock & zinc
Cocoa For Christian Fellowship
that's all they leave when they take

Oh well
Doo doo dododo
Bop bah bababa

It's not designed to work
It's not designed to work for you

It's not designed to work
And the purpose
leaves you in the dirt
With diseases
praying to the whitest jesus
your FICO score goes up
But you're praying to a crook

White Man brings that bible through
He just caught a lick
When that new sanction drops
You starving or in debt
Give up all that cobalt
And we'll give you Kurt Cobain
Give up all that copper
And we'll give you Golden Arches x2

We starving, they stunting

In prayer we are prey

Each track has its own importance to life. A lyrical genius with a rhythm that only makes the message more present and real. Kusistency
