Masters of mankind
Possessed by their greed
Ground into the dirt
We're strangled by our leash
All for ourselves and now nothing left; Starve the majority!
Retreat inside the walls where we rule; Masters pulling strings!
Divide the lower class and watch them fight; Destroy their unity!
Convince them that there is no class war; Victory Assured!
Masters of mankind
deceive the populace
live in arrogance
endless entitlement
This vile maxim
putting us in chains
the last glimmer of hope
is just a gilded cage
All for ourselves and now nothing left; Starve the majority!
Retreat inside the walls where we rule; Masters pulling strings!
Divide the lower class and watch them fight; Destroy their unity!
Convince them that there is no class war; Victory Assured!
Now we must resist.
Now we organize.
Crush our enemies.
Control our own lives.
Now we stand together,
blurring social lines.
Standing to resist,
the Masters of Mankind
