lyrics

JUST LIKE A VINE
OVER TIME
GROWING MORE DENSE
IF NOT CONFINED
NO OVERSIGHT
OF THE PARASITES
AS THEY MAKE MILLIONS
AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE DIE

WE FIND OURSELVES IN A DIFFICULT PLACE
RELIANT ON A SYSTEM THAT CANNOT TAKE
MUCH MORE OF THE STRAIN THAT'S BEEN PUT ON IT
WE GO ABOUT OUR BUSINESS

AS IF THE CRISIS
CAN BE AVERTED
OFF IN THE DISTANCE
IGNORANCE BLURTED

LIVE ON
FREE MARKET
BE STRONG
DON'T LET US DOWN

WE NEED
THE FREE MARKET
LET'S LEAVE IT UNCHECKED

WE'RE DOING BUSINESS
HOW DARE YOU QUESTION US
WE WIELD GREAT POWER
WE OWN THE GOVERNMENT
OUR GAINS ARE YOUR LOSS
OUR GAINS ARE NEEDED
TO KEEP THE SYSTEM
FROM BEING DEFEATED

WE GAVE BIRTH
TO THE FREE MARKET
OVER TIME
WE LOST CONTROL OF IT

WE CAN KILL
THE FREE MARKET
CUT OFF ITS FOOD SOURCE AND STARVE IT

A ROUGH TRANSITION ENSUES
A NEW ERA BECOMES
MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE
THAN THE OLDER ONES

WE MUST STOP
THE FREE MARKET
BEFORE IT EATS US ALIVE

WE MUST RESIST
THE FREE MARKET
NO NEED TO ASK WHY
JUST GIVE IT A TRY
OR GIVE IN AND DIE
