Analysis of Them vs Us
T.H.E.M. (The hellions employing mayhem)
Vs
U.S. (Useful slaves)
It’s always the same
The old tired game
Of them vs us
Each side making a fuss
Playing tug of war
Over the same
Sad dollar
“I need more”
“You’ll take less”
Each side holler
Nothing ever changes
It only gets worse
Our disgusting methods
Are simply a curse
Our inhumanity towards each other needs to disperse
But I know it’s a dream
Selfishness is the reign of the insane
Always looking to lay blame
It’s the hot potato game
It’s not us
It’s them
So, they say
Nobody wants to pay
Greed rules the day
It’s simply our twisted way
To lay the blame away
From our own feet
You see, misery is such a treat
To watch others, bow to the elite
A meeting nobody wants to greet
Please come in and have a seat
You wish to rent yourself?
How neat
I offer less than you need
I’m here to plant slaveries seed
You’ll reap what I sow
And never make
What you owe
But then again
That’s the trick
To keep you low
Ya prick
Here’s my boot
Take a lick
Watching you struggle
Is such a kick
This is really fun
Watching you run
Like a rat in a maze
Blinded by debts haze
And I am very aware
I create the misery you share
I simply don’t care
But to be fair
You never really had a pair
LOL
Eric (and sometimes not)
