Rattling the Chains
I let my inner vision run away, and I get lost in a game I play
I make believe I’m in a beautiful plan, where there’s equality for every man
But this is no film and there will be no sequel
Made in a world where the few are equal
All known life on a rock in space, just disappeared without a trace
Chorus
They oil the wheels so they can keep on spinning
They make the deals so they can keep on winning
Broken hearts and utopian dreams, all torn apart by self-serving schemes
A childhood spent trying to survive, steeped in horror but still alive
A boy aged five digs for food in the dirt, fully aware that no-one cares
Chorus
Thoughts could spark a revolution, lock them in an institution, stem the flow
And though their heads were open wide
You would never step inside to help them grow
Rivers of blood and oceans of tears have flowed unchecked for thousands of years
Fresh sacrifice on an altar of pain, the great god money is hungry again
Manipulation, more lies and deceit, in devastation the world at your feet
Pollution, destruction, war and greed
While you take more than you could ever need
Chorus
