lyrics

Blood & Oil

What you say you wanted. What you said was wrong.
Don’t take it for granted. We’re all paying in the end.

When you set the agenda. When you sell your propaganda.
We don’t need your weaponized fear. We just need to all see clearly.
When has it become too much. When will we have had enough.
A culture fed with fear. We break the shackles of the overseers?

Your lies...Your lies and greed

Will this regime ever change. Will it ever get better than this.
Now, the sky, it isn’t falling. But I can clearly hear it calling.
What’s the answer, I don’t know. Is it time to break the mold.
I Got stuck in rabbit holes. Will we stand up, or will we fold.

Your lies...Your lies and greed
Your lies...Your lies are death

Control is the paradigm. Starving the middle class to die.
Transnational corporate war machines. Profiting off of death is obscene.
A man of change and empty words. Just a game to placate the hordes.
The devil’s details were made so clever. Until its revealed who pulls the lever.
Of power, money, and greed. The death, of what we all need.
To come together in peace. Love and harmony.

Just a hippie fantasy. Is that what you’re telling me.
I say it can all be done. If we all see that we are one.
It’s just like in a dream. It only matters what you believe in.
Or will we all hang separately. Held down by how we all see.
