Lyrics
Start
Intro Instrumental
Verse 1
Silicon thrones and marble halls
Algorithms behind the walls
Bleeding dry the working class
While CEOs amass their cash
Market forces, puppet strings
Dancing to what money brings
Faceless logos, corporate seals
Crushing hope beneath their heels
Pre-Chorus
They promise growth
But harvest pain
The wolves of greed
Are at it again[Chorus]
Empty suits and golden ties
Feeding off the same old lies
Climbing towers built on bones
While we're left to skin and stones
Post-Chorus
Profit margins, bottom lines (Bottom lines)
Selling souls for dollar signs (Dollar signs)
Verse 2
Boardroom sharks with bloody teeth
Devouring dreams underneath
Empty words from hollow men
Building empires, again and again
Digital chains around our necks
While they cash their fat checks
System rigged, the game's designed
For those with power to stay behind
Pre-Chorus
The higher they climb
The further we fall
They privatize profits
Socialize the fall
Chorus
Empty suits and golden ties
Feeding off the same old lies
Climbing towers built on bones
While we're left to skin and stones
Post-Chorus
Profit margins, bottom lines (Bottom lines)
Selling souls for dollar signs (Dollar signs)
Bridge
Break the wheel that keeps on turning
Tear down walls while Rome is burning
We are more than just consumers
We are more than just the users
Rise up now before we're gone
The time for silence has moved on
Chorus
Empty suits and golden ties
Feeding off the same old lies
Climbing towers built on bones
While we're left to skin and stones
Outro
We're left to skin and stones
We're left to skin and stones[Final Chorus]
Empty suits and golden ties
Feeding off the same old lies
Climbing towers built on bones
While we're left to skin and stones
Post-Chorus
Profit margins, bottom lines (Bottom lines)
Selling souls for dollar signs (Dollar signs)
Breakdown
The system fails, the markets crash
Yet golden parachutes attach
For those who built this house of cards
While we're left picking through the shards
Their toxic wealth, a poison pill
As we fight against their will
The revolution's in our hands
Time to make our final stand
Final Chorus
Empty suits and golden ties
Feeding off the same old lies
Climbing towers built on bones
While we're left to skin and stones
Outro
We won't be left to skin and stones
Not anymore to skin and stones
(We rise up now)
(We rise up now)
End
