Embers in A New World

Dear masters of the industry  
You can dish out longer mileage, battery  
Every year, new electric cars  
Then charge charge charge  
 
Solar panels as an industry  
Longer life  
Smaller  
Discreet  
Every year  
Dear dear  
Are you behind on China's gears  
 
You so worried you'll die out  
Why don't you invest in the new  
If you don't wanna fade  
Invest in the future we brew  
 
Because you are running out of time  
Wars for water don't care about a dime  
Death over food don't care about your bank account  
Ain't nobody gonna be around to bail your ass out  
 
So please  
Industry  
Keep playing like someone's stealing from you  
Your family don't know the trials normal people been through  
This new low standard of living now threatens your means  
Oh damn  
Now you gotta live among those you demean  
 
So shocked when when one of you goes down  
It ain't gonna be the law  
Yeah  
It's gonna be us clowns  
 
The broke  
The negro  
The homo  
Whatever the fuck  
But power ain't a dollar  
Or color muthafucka  
 
Keep separating  
Keep spewing  
Keep dragging us down with your greed  
What was that old saying?  
Oh yeah  
You can't eat money.
