Ties, Lies & Suitcases
from This Season Needs Torches by Sweet Empire
about
The whole socialist/Marxist ideas appeal a lot to us and we wish our world would have more economic equality, but sadly that’s just not how things are going. The key in economics today is based in the Neo-liberal views. Views that speak for a minimum of government interference and a free-market that regulates itself. Capitalism in its purest form and a license for large companies to take control. Almost all privatized companies give their top-executives big paychecks but they deny maintaining a certain product quality. The whole liberal movement is what caused the big economic collapse of 2008-2009.
lyrics
Your great ‘smile’ seems weird to me
When our puny lives are based on fear
Yet your actions speak so clear
Plant your pride and get outta here
But hey, you are not to blame
Obeying the rules of this playfield – seems only sane.
Enfolded in a suit so nice
You promise companies their low-tax paradise
Forget the people carrying the stones
The temple you call on ‘s the holy Dow Jones
But hey, you are not to blame
When working in this playfield – it seems only sane
(woo) Not to share the stolen coins
(woo) Not to look at the bottom source
(woo) Let them bleed for a simple Band-Aid
(woo) so your study mates receive their upgrades
I guess I could see this differently
But your neo-liberal politics are such a sham(e) to me
‘Cause there’s one important thing I learned as a kid
“Always share even if it’s all you got”
All you got
When our puny lives are based on fear
Yet your actions speak so clear
Plant your pride and get outta here
But hey, you are not to blame
Obeying the rules of this playfield – seems only sane.
Enfolded in a suit so nice
You promise companies their low-tax paradise
Forget the people carrying the stones
The temple you call on ‘s the holy Dow Jones
But hey, you are not to blame
When working in this playfield – it seems only sane
(woo) Not to share the stolen coins
(woo) Not to look at the bottom source
(woo) Let them bleed for a simple Band-Aid
(woo) so your study mates receive their upgrades
I guess I could see this differently
But your neo-liberal politics are such a sham(e) to me
‘Cause there’s one important thing I learned as a kid
“Always share even if it’s all you got”
All you got
