King Vultures
Song by Jay Ray
E
Break it down now
You're the one in every hundred I can't allow
The cause and effect speaks just too loud
Their spiteful presence creates a storm cloud
By their parasitic, predatory lifestyle
Displaying emotions only to manipulate
To satiate the compelling need to dominate
A shallow sentiment in distorted mind
Inimically assigned to carry out design
Disregard for a human life
They make peace in a destructive frame of mind
We're left waiting at the end of the line
We're marching towards the end of mankind
Hiding behind the academic gown
While the white-collar criminals are calling the shots
While corporating the profit and the power
Drain the money out and drop them from the top
Feeding off the weak and selling out our lives
Reap the unsown and live high for a while
Indulging in synthetic opulence, drain the money out
As the waves, crash over me
And it pours in my heart and heads back to the sea
As the waves, crash over me
All the troubled thoughts are washed away from me
Short-term gains and long-term pain
You can try but it's never gonna change me
I've got heart and I will stay strong for every true word is a promise worth keeping
The earth will not forgive
We deny what's essential to behold
We're lied to, I can see right through
The veils that's been raised while the world is sleeping
They are all around you no matter where you go
In avoidance of feelings, there's no care for the world
Grandstanding, untrustworthy, devoid of shame and guilt
It is by those same methods that the modern world is built
It's in this sinking feeling where all troubled thoughts are washed away and now
The ocean lives in me, the ocean lives in me
As the waves, crash over me
And it pours in my heart and heads back to the sea
As the waves, crash over me and the ocean lives in me
Devoid of shame and f***ing guilt
You're the one in every hundred I can't allow
The cause and effect speaks just too loud
Their spiteful presence creates a storm cloud
By their parasitic, predatory lifestyle
Displaying emotions only to manipulate
To satiate the compelling need to dominate
A shallow sentiment in distorted mind
Inimically assigned to carry out design
Disregard for a human life
They make peace in a destructive frame of mind
We're left waiting at the end of the line
We're marching towards the end of mankind
Hiding behind the academic gown
While the white-collar criminals are calling the shots
While corporating the profit and the power
Drain the money out and drop them from the top
Feeding off the weak and selling out our lives
Reap the unsown and live high for a while
Indulging in synthetic opulence, drain the money out
As the waves, crash over me
And it pours in my heart and heads back to the sea
As the waves, crash over me
All the troubled thoughts are washed away from me
Short-term gains and long-term pain
You can try but it's never gonna change me
I've got heart and I will stay strong for every true word is a promise worth keeping
The earth will not forgive
We deny what's essential to behold
We're lied to, I can see right through
The veils that's been raised while the world is sleeping
They are all around you no matter where you go
In avoidance of feelings, there's no care for the world
Grandstanding, untrustworthy, devoid of shame and guilt
It is by those same methods that the modern world is built
It's in this sinking feeling where all troubled thoughts are washed away and now
The ocean lives in me, the ocean lives in me
As the waves, crash over me
And it pours in my heart and heads back to the sea
As the waves, crash over me and the ocean lives in me
Devoid of shame and f***ing guilt
