An Eternal Drain

Close your eyes, give them our cash,
Do you see output falling, do you understand?
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming?
Is this churning an eternal drain?

I believe we're going to bleed,
For the profits of bastards, we are asked not to see
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
Or is this gurning an eternal drain?

We don't face the pain and hide inside from the rain
A game so broken, that we don't even have a name
I don't want to lose our future

Oh

Embrace the pain, sun shines through the rain
Make the c*nts who caused it face up to the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling

Close your eyes and give me your hand
Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand?
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
Or are we learning that we need a new game?

Is this burning an eternal drain?

An eternal drain?

Perdit spolia principi pecuniarum?

To the south, tyrants know
That it's time for them to go;
The cracks are starting to show:
An end to exploitation?
Reassertion of the nations
Against the
Against the
Against the selfish rule of the corporations?

In the north, trouble brews
As inequality lights the fuse
Angered by the bankers' abuse
The people start to realise
That growth is based on real lies
They can see
They can see
They can see the truth with real eyes

In our hearts we can see
Violence is our reality
You can watch it on TV
Sold arms to corrupt regimes
It's exactly what it seems
We caused these
We caused these
We caused these unpleasant scenes

Strategic priorities
Inconvenient realities
It's people that feel the squeeze
Of greed and morals
Of their rulers' quarrels
Liberals rest
Liberals rest
Liberals rest on their illiberal laurels

The United States understands
Genuinely democratic Muslim lands
Will be no friend of Uncle Sam's
Remove troops from our soil
From Israeli aid recoil
Get your hands
Get your hands
Get your hands off our oil
