The Ledger’s Throat

Intro

Aaargh!!

Verse 1

We torch the asphalt, but the feed just eats,

A digital ghost in the gated streets.

No vaults cracked open, no crowns in the dirt,

Just a spectacle feed while the Fed stays alert.

No chains in the furnace, no profits delayed,

Just a brand-name riot for the debt-slaves paid.

The Nasdaq don’t bleed, the algorithm don’t crack,

But the banks keep the ledger while the cops crack the back!

Pre-Chorus

If the interest don’t scream and the red ink don’t run,

Then your revolution’s just a corporate stunt!

Chorus

They built the cage, now bend the bars!

They sold the rage, now steal the scars!

They script the lines, now burn the code!

They want your soul, now choke the road!

Verse 2

The news feeds the lie like a caged animal,

A VIP riot for the liberal capital.

No pipelines bled, no profits in flames,

No CEOs swinging from Wall Street’s chains.

The cops take a knee while the drones take the sky,

The poor take the bullets, the rich take the high.

You scream through a megaphone they stamped with their seal,

While the system digests every word that you feel!

Pre-Chorus

If the money don’t scream and the power don’t break,

Then your uprising’s just a marketing fake!

Chorus

They built the cage, now bend the bars!

They sold the rage, now steal the scars!

They script the lines, now burn the code!

They want your soul, now choke the road!

Bridge

Market the fire.

Market the spark.

Market the movement.

To keep you in the dark.

But the fire we hold

Isn’t theirs to control

It’s the match, it’s the fuse,

It’s the end of their rules!

Outro

So wake the fuck up or get lost in the haze,

The clock’s ticking down-it’s do or be slaves!

The time for their rules is over and done

Break the code, grab the gun

Now who’s the one

Holding fuckin' justice to the sun?

Outro

They built the cage, now bend the bars!

They sold the rage, now steal the scars!

They script the lines, now burn the code!

They want your soul, now choke the road!
