C.R.E.E.M. by Eager Maniacs Lyrics
I slither like a snake through the sands of time
While I'm digging my own grave with these hands of mine
Working 9-5, life has me chasing more than dreams
I'm tugging at these seams to see if I can justify the means
There’s no end in sight, yet seems like it could end tonight
If I don't put up my fists and fight the wick just just might ignite
So pay attention, this road was paved with no intention
I just wanted to toss a wrench in the gears and gain some thought retention
This tension may be integral but it seems the belt is slipping
Around my neck, so now the stress is not the only thing that's gripping
Blood’s dripping from my wallet, because the dollars are soaked in souls
The people in control of this hole have given the proles a role
But since our buildings started booming and our economy has stopped
Obama's 'change' has not been brought, it seems the big picture's been cropped
The remains of society remain to be seen by my eyes
And every product that we make or buy contributes to our demise
Work everyday, what’s the reward? That you’re still alive?
Debt servitude, gotta pay the bills that grow in piles
Can you smile at your children while protecting these thieves?
It’s all about the C.R.E.E.M., ‘Cash rules everything except me’!
Our tank’s on empty, and now the politricks are stalling out
It seems our beloved God and America have had a falling out
To me it’s all in now, expose the cracks in the foundation!
The trickle down of my fickle nouns and verbs are tired of waiting
There’s a picture to be painted, I suggest you pick up a brush
Either hush or call their bluff before the building blocks are crushed
We’re diamonds in the rough, but we've been showered in shit, our towers were hit
Politicians made the profit when the people lost it
Get off your high horse and let it die, it's your demise!
Open up your swollen eyes, we've all been sold some golden lies
The lines between fantasy and insanity have blurred
Now they want to buy and sell the world, this shit is so absurd!
If we started using words we wouldn't have to drop those bombs
But that’s how we get our money, and that’s why we killed Saddam
Why sell the lies they televise and push boulders shrugging shoulders?
This molten soldier is watching embers of just venom smolder
Why sell the lies they televise and push boulders shrugging shoulders?
This molten soldier's watching embers of just venom smolder
Why sell the lies they televise and push boulders shrugging shoulders?
This molten soldier's watching embers of just venom smolder
Why sell the lies they televise and push boulders shrugging shoulders?
This molten soldier's watching embers of just venom smolder
Cash rules everything except me, fuck the money! Burn a dollar bill ya'll!
While I'm digging my own grave with these hands of mine
Working 9-5, life has me chasing more than dreams
I'm tugging at these seams to see if I can justify the means
There’s no end in sight, yet seems like it could end tonight
If I don't put up my fists and fight the wick just just might ignite
So pay attention, this road was paved with no intention
