lyrics

The gap is growing
the chasm is showing
the rift all consuming
all seeing all knowing
it's a slow divide
that won't stop
a cold wind that won't stop blowing
so mental capacity is slowing

chorus:
with the shirt and tied minds
you collide
if you can't generate wealth you're
left outside
only the strongest competitors survive

In this world of physical culturists
corporate purists
financial contortionists
advertising propagandists
back slapping sycophantics
apathy is growing
awareness is still not free flowing

(chorus)

In this world of the progression abortionists
reality distortionists
we are there rhetoric absorbists
status quo insurists
most know the truth
but choose to ignore it
the erosion of real choices
the squandering of recourses
