In a Minute

In a minute
We’re all in it
Black and white
Dark as night
Screaming loudly
Packing proudly
We want control
of this black hole

They come for them
They come for us
Fill a plane
or fill a bus
Got no time to discuss
There is no THEY
There’s only US

Can’t you see
Safe is gone
Was a joke 
All along
Shut your door
Try to lock it
All that matters
is your pocket

Priorities crooked
Morals bent
Think of all 
the dollars spent
Neither bad guys
Nor the good
Have ever
truly understood
That equality is determined
by the aging wealthy vermin

Hands up if you disagree
Or shrink away, silently
But we know
You know it’s true
And you pray it won’t be you
They come for next…
