Corporate Takeover

They're not your friends to lend a helping hand
They don't care about you, they're psychopaths
No concern for what is sold,
as long as it's profitable
Wealth is the single purpose
There is no pride for a product
Eaten alive by another,
acquisition, merger
Take the foundation to decorate the top
Without a base, the pyramid will collapse
There must be continuous growth to survive
No one can ever be satisfied
Discomfort is the key to a robust economy
Keep consumers always wanting, keep people unhappy
The world is conquered, ripe for the plucking
Reality is commercial advertising
Denying people their basic needs
To facilitate corporate greed
Reliance on their products
Decadent, caustic
Create conditions for poverty
Leave the mess for us to clean
Poverty + Violence + Disease = Death
