Comes From Money

from The Long Con EP by ON BODIES

lyrics

You've got your pastel polo and your trumped up family name.
Outside the security gates you know we're all the same.
Yeah, you never worked. Never paid. Never tried.
The power you wield, passed down from the inside.

Comes from money.
The few and the privileged. The keepers of gain.
In dynastic succession, you carry the flame.
Comes from money.
How terrible you must suffer the stain of the poor.
Trampling each other and praying for rain.

Comes from money.
Insulated, they've waited until you were groomed.
Another white face slowly sealing the tomb.
Comes from money.
Better controlled when devout and estranged.
Nobles and Peasants, not much has changed

And the slice will rule the pie.

At the top are dynasties and bloodlines
Private clubs filled with purchased Ivy League degrees
Bred to strengthen, bred to preserve
a class and culture that the rest don't deserve
And at the bottom, and in the middle
I used to think there was an army lying in wait - But there's
No revolution, and there's no hope
We deserve this subjugation, we deserve this sorry fate
Let them keep us stupid, let them keep us fat, let them divide us
By making us so willing to condemn
Let them fucking wind us up
so we're too turned on each other to ever turn on them.
