Pwrup - Robber Baron (feat. Hell Beach & Mega Infinity)

This can't be happening
We all went through this hellish jobscape
Still they have our blinders on
We're at each other's throats

This will keep happening
As long as we keep punching down
Stop acting like a fucking clown
Shilling for that which you won't become

How many bad weeks can you persevere?
Now tell me how many until you're rich?

And if you get your chance
At untold wealth tell us how many times
Someone else had to lose what's theirs
So you could have some more

You won't have earned your millions
Your new mantle: Robber Baron
Your fiscal needs long since removed
But you continue to consume

How much do you need?
How much is enough?
Sating your greed you piece of shit

We keep waiting for them to do the better things
To use the wealth they have, to fix what they've broken
This ain't hyperbole; we're on a dying rock
I fear it's too late, that we've waited too long

Could I be happy, could I be free
Escape this cage I built for me
This self made prison in my mind
Constructed pieces over time
Just one more chance for blood and sweat
My wasted years and my regrets
I've turned this cage into a home
I'll have that corner office yet

I begged the warden set us free
But all the prisoners were me
A strange dichotomy of wrongs
Would they be fit to soldier on
False opposition in my mind
I was the warden the whole time
"But your futures!"
The Robber Baron screamed
I burned it down to set me free

Perfer et obdura, dolor hic tibi proderit olim.
