At what cost did you lose yourself?
Nothing much, 'cause you really were nothing much, as such,
The insecure are seduced by ambition
A fool and his kingdom, with shades of vanity and cookie cutter wisdom
It starts with tyrants playing victim
Today the landlord, tomorrow the peasants that evict him
Another lawyer-politician with tired opinions that hijack the system
Welcome to the fiefdom, an emperor for every island
A tapestry of power hungry bees that are hiveless, timeless
Are the acts of the spineless
Selling out is easy 'cause you had nothing worth hiding
Nothing worth struggling for or worth fighting,
You're not the first monkey on that ladder you're climbing
Don't fool us with that ideology you're subscribing
We all know that you're lying, so stop trying,
And yet, Mr. Ivy League plays politicians games
Sucked in by women, wealth and acclaim
Nothing to his name that brings him respect
It's all about connections, titles, who you know
Not what you do, Mr. Bureaucrat has no clue
Just another self-important fly in the soup,
And he assumes, his web of friends are all he needs
Your social network can't hide your lack of deeds,
A tiny world you inhabit in your elitist enclave,
Hubris blinds you to obvious end game,
Power's just a means to an end, if you focus on the means then meet your end
21st century bitch, Machiavelli's outdated
So don't give me that jaded, response, when you say
That's just the way it is, talk is cheap, because you did nothing
Foolish assumption, this age is gushing
Technology and genius are rushing to liberate
Innovate, evolve, obliterate the gap between
The progress of science and the humanity we lack...
And yet, he still goes on with his plan
To have the whole world in the palm of his hand
Watch paradise turn into wasteland, it's the fall of man, it's the fall of man (2x)
