lyrics

You look at it, you taste it
You don't like it, you can't erase it
You ignore it, it doesn't stop it
You can burn it all, but you can't take it with you

You try it hide it but it doesn't go away
The things you do and the things you say
You can move yourself way up on the hill
You'll never get high enough to get your fill
Your benevolence is trickling down
I can see it in the fires burning 'round town
You say this is all for prosperity's sake
I don't know how much more of this I can take

You'll always find tools to scream
To wave the signs and cheer your team
They think they'll all be rich one day
But the rabbit always keeps one step away
You need us more than we need you
You believe all the that lies you say are true
The world will just keep spinning apace
Without your perfect shining face

You look at it, you taste it
You don't like it, you can't erase it
You ignore it, it doesn't stop it
You can burn it all, but you can't take it with you

You're looking for yourself
But you won't find anything
No you won't find anything
You won't find anything

You. will. never. ever. make. us. go. away.
