Rich and lavish, everyone covets them,
wanting makes us selfish, so we choose to condemn,
acting as if the high life is wrong,
and yet we admire it in every song,
but the glittering gold of self-sufficiency,
while believing due to their superb efficiency,
has given the rich a false sense of superiority,
while distilling on us a feeling of inferiority.

So how do we fight back against the man?
We try to take everything we can.
"He doesn't need it! He has so much!"
is what we will shout on a fateful march,
but our words fall upon deaf ears,
as the ones who should listen,
are the ones distilling our fears.
