WAR FAIR - They Live Lyrics

They live, they smile, they breathe
On a back-burner a society bleeds
They grin, direct, they rule
We shed our sweat and act the fool
They tell us to marry and reproduce
Tell us to purchase land, settle down and consume
Take out loans, accept the terms, then sign the pad with our blood and dirt

Obey the golden rule: the rich make the rules
Suffer and suffocate

They live atop a dark tower of black, ride a horse as high, if not higher, than that
They hover a black shroud over our eyes, camouflage their sins and keep us in line
They force us to submit to their tyrants to f*cking thicken their power
The moment we take breath our first breath is soured

Obey the golden rule: the rich make the rules
Suffer and suffocate

They tell me to suffer and suffocate, obey the rules they lay
Tell me to domesticate
Tell me it's all work no play
Tell me what they want I won't obey the rules they lay
Tell me to accommodate
Call me a subordinate
Tell me what they want I won't obey the rules they lay

Follow the rules, boy, and get back in line
Conforming to me is just a waste of f*cking time
If you don't listen to us, son, you'll never succeed
I will never assimilate
I'd rather choke and bleed
Follow
I will never f*cking follow

Obey the golden rule: the rich make the rules
Suffer and suffocate

They live, they smile, they breathe
On a back-burner a society bleeds
They grin, direct, they rule
We shed our sweat and act the fool
They tell us to keep quiet and enjoy this f*cking life that they've provided
Keep at bay and keep compliant until we die
They live
