lyrics

Power move after power move,
They shifted all the wealth and power to the top.
And with all this great power,
All we get is great irresponsibility.
Our enemy is not the poor or the immigrant.
Our enemy is not those who need assistance.
Our enemy does not act in our best interest.
This is not a class war, it’s legalized genocide.
One day we’ll look back (where they took a mile)
And count every inch. (where they took a mile)
One day we’ll take back (where they took a mile)
Every single inch and every mile.
How can there be justice when you’re too big to jail?
How can there be justice when you’re too big to fail?
They take our lives and our time.
When will we take what we’re owed?
We live and die by their swords.
What can we wage when we’re spent?
The scales are tipped; unbalanced.
We live and die by their swords.

I stumbled upon this band while listening to Saetia on Spotify, and had to check them out. This album rates in one of my top 5, for sure. I'd love to see this band live acerbicarbalist
