about

This is mostly finished, however I am hoping to improve the mix.

lyrics

There's a kind of doll-eyed shark
that watches while you drown
Still not too proud for hunger -
he swallows you right down
And if they put your interests first...
...It's cos you live uptown

They're the kind of guys that want
your red as much as green
You pay it in by filling bags
behind an amber screen
The TV tells you this is fine
It's how it's always been

This ain't fine
It isn't real
a funny game
a double deal
You need a home
another meal
They're at the door so
break the seal
This ain't life
You barely live
It's always take
and never give
They'll chew you up
And spit you out
It's what they do
Make no mistake about it

There's a kind of lizard men
that help you to the ground
Not in it for the money -
will eat you when you're down
Always put their interests first...
...because they live uptown

They want to be a part of you
To step inside your head
They want to kill the middleman
But do not want him dead
A hundred years from now I fear
With nothing more to take
With only ruins in the sand
The sleepers need to wake
But will the sleepers wake?

This ain't fine
It isn't real
a funny game
a double deal
You need a home
another meal
We're at the gate so
break the seal
This ain't life
You barely live
It's always take
and never give
They'll chew you up
And spit you out
It's what they do
Make no mistake about it
