Merchants of empty dreams
Preaching self-loathing to a people under siege
Reactionary flank of the neo-liberal attack
Preaching the markets dream, while the lobby locks in the monopoly
Merchants of empty dreams defend the cannibals version of reality
Merchants of empty dreams
In societies of pyramid schemes
Coaching to cannibalize
While ""industry"" is subsidized
Merchants of empty dreams
In societies of pyramid schemes
We're looking up to the stars sending rocket ships with cars to mars
Retreat into a personal tactic
Demobilize - by now its automatic
Defer to free will when you place the blame
Talk about free markets while you rig the game
Deregulate, speculate, bank-run, bail-out, buy-back, global amnesia
While the charlatans defend the cannibals version of reality
Merchants of empty dreams
In societies of pyramid schemes
Coaching to cannibalize
While ""industry"" is subsidized
Merchants of empty dreams
In societies of pyramid schemes
We're looking up to the stars sending rocket ships with cars to mars
Do you see how the knife gets turned?
Stock buy-backs while our countries burn
Do you see how the knife gets turned?
Remember hopelessness is self-learned
Retreat into an empire of illusion
Selling markets as naturalized
Long since they've been feudalized
Flaming fake opposites and culture wars
Really they're vultures in a battlefield of carnivores tearin' skin from bones
Fake finance owns our homes, tech lords ' our minds
Thoughts come to a standstill
Sleight of hand guides our will
Merchants of empty dreams
In societies of pyramid schemes
Coaching to cannibalize
While ""industry"" is subsidized
Merchants of empty dreams
In societies of pyramid schemes
We're looking up to the stars sending rocket ships with cars to mars
