Masters of This World

Intro

Welcome to the show

Sinister tales

Ha ha ha ha

Verse 1

Billions vanish into the void tonight

Taxpayer dollars for a "freedom" fight

Innocent lives swept like dirty laundry

We sip our wine and watch the gallery

Sit down for dinner with the family again

The news feeds inflation straight to the screen

Photos of the crushed still steamin' on the glass

A diktator grins while the bodies pass

Pre-Chorus

And the newborns tumble into mass graves

Forgotten little ones that nobody saves

Wretches carry scars of a world that never cared

Loneliness and hatred all they ever shared

Chorus

But we just sit there chewin' our food

Smug little masters in a terrible mood

Watch the chaos flash before our own eyes

Let it slip away till the next one arrives

We're the masters of this world

We're the ones who pay the price

We're the masters of this world

Ain't that so damn nice

Verse 2

Bullets fly for reasons that don't make sense

Killing for a flag or a stolen fence

And we foot the bill for the absurd inflation

Praying to the gods as the whole damn nation

Retreat to religion when it all gets bleak

Begging on our knees for the mercy they never seek

The power's in our hands but we choke on the greed

Salvation is ours if we ever freed

Pre-Chorus

The ones who die in ditches will never get a say

While we scroll past their faces at the end of the day

We forget the names before the credits roll

And blame the men who only want control

Chorus

But we just sit there chewin' our food

Smug little masters in a terrible mood

Watch the chaos flash before our own eyes

Let it slip away till the next one arrives

We're the masters of this world

We're the ones who pay the price

We're the masters of this world

Ain't that so damn nice

Bridge

Erased like trash

Forgotten clean

Salvation's ours

If you know what I mean
