The people come from the edge of the universe
The people want what they already own
Set an alarm after everyone leaves tonight
Set an alarm, but you're never alone
The people pray for an easier way to live
That's why their things are worth
Their weight in gold
If you're disappointed claim yourself as a victim
Ya point your finger, turn around and go home
Take one, take two, take them all
Oh, how the entitled will fall
They're selling it right, we demonize any greed at all
Forfeit or fight, if you decide to make that call.
But ho, all the ease is too sweet.
The people weep when they don't get a second try
Who would fight for a crown and a thrown
If you got to where you wanted by doing right
How does it look, how do you know
The people fall but they don't want to fall behind
Work hard, but not to the bone
Have a heart, tell them all you're superior
But I believe in no Holy Ghost
Little ride and we're headed downtown
Maybe the history's what's bringing them out
Get your fare ready, look who's driving the bus
Big time and you're speeding around
New material, feeling it out
What you pay for your share is more than enough
If you wander to the edge of the universe
You will find there's nothing at all
There's no reason or incentive to fail and try again
They've got it all, why leave home?
