lyrics

FEAR OF FOXES
-----------------------
There’s a world outside one percentile wide where the wealth resides
When the world out there should be ours to share - why do you not care?
‘Cause you see only what they want you to
And believe only what they tell you
Don’t you know…

If you spend your whole life trying to emulate their greed
You’ll still just end up dying - so how much do you need?
And still you keep on buying every planted seed
But you don’t know why

There’s an insincere politics of fear in the atmosphere
Now the only route for the destitute is an institute
Where you do only what they want you to
And receive only what they let you
Don’t you know…

If you spend your whole life trying to emulate their greed
You’ll still just end up dying - so how much do you need?
And still you keep on buying every planted seed
But you don’t know why

They try to hide the truth about this ride with primetime wide-screen lies
Unholy revelries beamed into your conscience
That negate the will to tear these institutions down
Don’t you know…

Your heart is doused in violence and now it does not bleed
A mind that’s sealed by guidance will always be in need
‘Til your withered soul lies silent, aching to be freed
But you won’t know why

If you spend your whole life trying to emulate their greed
You’ll still just end up dying - so how much do you need?
And still you keep on buying every planted seed
But I just don’t know why

There’s a world outside one percentile wide
