That’s how the world works

Welcome to the heir

Of damnable despair
Welcome to this world
Built from blood

Come and take your seat

We have it classified by race, sex and property
We have whites in the front, blacks at the back
Fedoras for the elite, pig-heads for the crap

Welcome to this world where

Hope is obsolete for the poor
Only the rich are capable
Of getting what they need and more

But remember, while you starve and work

The elites get to eat out and leisure on their forts
Your lives are worth a lot
Even if the people don’t know who you are
Or care about what you want

Don’t think about your true purpose

Don’t look up at the sky
Just work your days off
With aches and sore eyes
“Money doesn’t solve all problems”
While we romanticize such quotes
You work mindlessly to make ends meet
Because you are the poor

The world is fine as it is

There’s no time to think about equality and peace
Keep sending your children to collect plastic cans
While we fuel global warming by our carbon demands

Don’t rebel against it

Not like your efforts matter
Fall in line like the rest of your kind
The working class that doesn’t falter
Because that’s how the world works
