Numbers Game - Illy Trading floors exploded Down arrows
Red numbers People losing everything convinced that their world was ending no Small thanks to a lotta chest thumping And paranoia But thats a sensitive topic 'Cause on one hand homie lost his home on the Other hand the ones who caused it go in and Post record profits That was just the tip of it The icebergs vanished Species vanished daily Countries literally drowning under the threat of an ecosystem failing To cope Gave us enough rope We were swaying by the days end Big business dollars bought slaves blind eyes coastlines goldmines of Ambivalence digging our own graves then No lie Oil fell from the sky Suffocated oceans blackened The eyes of the world on a room of conspirators No one knew what happened No one stood and hacked it And no one took blame
A global crisis justified for private gain a world insane Insane insane insane That's what it is to be a slave Every city Every city In every building In every building Sits another like me Sits another like me Watching Waiting
Watching Waiting Every city Every city In every building In every building Sits another like me Sits another like me Watching Waiting Watching Waiting And they pushed us Tested our indifference Just to see how far they could milk it And it's funny 'cause the ones with the money didn't Care long as it was the ones without who felt It Ha They felt it alright For lifetimes and across all borders Smooth talkers Cold blooded
Exploit it Export it My Generation was caught between caring more than all that Came before us And a self induced apathy That almost tore us Destroyed us And brought us To the brink Then we stopped to think It was crazy In an age where we could drop bombs via satellite We were too blind to the forces at play there To stand up against their Will Power To quick to cower in the face of conglomerates And as the world Hung there in the balance enough Said enough is enough about time put a stop To this Straw by straw till we had a haystack only took One more To break the cycle United Took to the streets to The halls of power to the governments doors Every city Every city In every building In every building Sits another like me Sits another like me Watching Waiting Watching Waiting Every city Every city In every building In every building Sits another like me Sits another like me Watching Waiting Watching Waiting It's all a numbers game
But for all the corporate wallet flashes Of financial strength Couldn't counter the power of the masses When it came to the crunch When the lust and Greed threatened everything we love Divided They had us but f**k that man Push came to shove And we beat those f**king cowards back
And under a shining sun Showed we could silence their influence but try as they Might they couldn't silence love Can not silence love Let history show how hard for that war was won So we may never know how close we'd really come
How close we'd really come
Quite an experience to live in fear isn't it
That's what it is to be a slave Is to be a slave Is to be a slave Is to be a slave Is to be a slave Is to be a slave Is to be a slave Is to be a slave Is to be a slave
