What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Bet your bottom dollar
2
That I've been getting offers every day
3
I'm a coveted slave
4
They took me to lunch
5
I talked, they bought it
6
Then they sold my soul while it slept in the garden to a High-rise
7
Every step that you take is sequential
8
When every move you make gets bank rolled
9
You better believe I was shocked
10
When I saw this thing was propped up
11
By fear and its sponsors:
12
The banks and the law
13
When I felt a hand take ahold of my face
14
Yelling "Put all your goddamn' friends in their places.
15
Show them the ropes"
16
So I took them to lunch
17
They ate, I bought it
18
In exchange for their will
19
And I put them all to work on my High-rise
20
Where every dream is inconsequential
21
You should count your blessings we're taking this over
22
You're one of the lucky ones, you know you've got it made
23
An iron fist with a velvet grip is better than a cage
24
Oddly enough, the lower class
25
That built this town, that broke their backs
26
Are getting word they're going to war
27
And everyone claps with tears in their eyes
28
Like we've got their backs, good patriots
29
Yelling "Show them what First World lead does to a mud hut
30
Lest any man should ever "˜gain mess with us."
31
"Back to the East" says the sun to the soldier
32
As it sets on the West, as to curtsy in respect for his bravery
33
Because all his dreams are inconsequential
34
They say it's anti-American to oppose all our violence
35
Thus, the pro-life hypocrisy: the talent pool is broke
36
The things enjoyed by the rich are always built by the poor
37
You ain't supporting the troops if you ain't supporting their war
Only a few will understand
