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
