Space Race War

 
this isn't a race war alone, it's a space race war
some of the most intelligent beings are held captive

in their defense, how do you fight what you can't see?

when no relief is given
when everything you have
you had to take

I eat like a barbarian
I know what it's like to starve
sometimes I buckle under the weight of the classes
tag teamed and born in a pit, still I get up

sorrow is rich off us
knowledge is gold
I'm not in the sharing mood, however
I've burned with it on my tongue before

I had to mine through coal
for my wisdom I had to pay
with my blood, sweat and tears

it's not for nothing I'm angry
Munchausen syndrome on a galactical scale
I won't let it corrupt my mind, however
or make my synapses misfire with the electrical fields I feel

I will regulate this human container

I didn't come here to lose
I came here to take on what I can't see

and Win
