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.
