lyrics

They live, they smile, they breathe. On the backburner a society bleeds.
They grin, direct, they rule. We shed our sweat and act the fool.
Tell us to marry and reproduce. Tell us to purchase land, settle down and consume.
Take out loans, accept the terms, then sign the pad with your blood and dirt.

Obey the golden rule. The rich make the rules.
Suffer and suffocate.
Obey the golden rule. The rich make the rules.

They live atop a dark tower of black. Ride a horse as high, if not higher than that.
They hover a black shroud over our eyes, camouflage their sins and keep us in line.
Submit to the tyrants, thicken their power.
The moment we take breath, our first breath is soured.

Obey the golden rule. The rich make the rules.
Suffer and suffocate.
Obey the golden rule. The rich make the rules.

They tell us to
Suffer and suffocate, suffer and suffocate, suffer and suffocate, obey the rules they lay
Tell me to domesticate, tell me its all work no play, tell me what they want, I wont obey the rules they lay
They tell me to accommodate, call me a subordinate, tell me what they want, I wont obey the rules they lay

Follow our rules boy and get back in line
Conforming to me is a waste of fucking time
If you don't listen to us son you'll never succeed
I will never assimilate, I'd rather choke and bleed
Follow
I will never follow

Obey the golden rule. The rich make the rules.
Suffer and suffocate.
Obey the golden rule. The rich make the rules.

They live, they smile, they breathe. On the backburner a society bleeds.
They grin, direct, they rule. We shed our sweat and act the fool.
Tell us keep quiet and enjoy this fucking life that they've provided, keep at bay and keep compliant until we die.
THEY LIVE!
