Were Dust / The Violator by Iron Age Lyrics
From the moment we're thrown
Into this life we can't choose
The light is hidden from us
We can feel that we're doomed
But our instinct dictates that we
Have to survive
Only man has no chance against greed
It rules our lives
(Chorus)
There's no trust and nothing left to believe
No truth, we only fight for the green
It's ours
This fate we've made
We're dust
It's only the rich who get it over on you
The poor fight the poor
And now you watch every move
Caught in an existence that we
Can't understand
Forced to climb on the backs of our own
Take where we can
(Repeat chorus)
We fight to the top, but our deeds
Have followed us there
We're not victims, we just don't care
We chase money, but we run from our fate
The Violator, the beast from our waste
Into this life we can't choose
The light is hidden from us
We can feel that we're doomed
But our instinct dictates that we
Have to survive
Only man has no chance against greed
It rules our lives
(Chorus)
There's no trust and nothing left to believe
No truth, we only fight for the green
It's ours
This fate we've made
We're dust
It's only the rich who get it over on you
The poor fight the poor
And now you watch every move
Caught in an existence that we
Can't understand
Forced to climb on the backs of our own
Take where we can
(Repeat chorus)
We fight to the top, but our deeds
Have followed us there
We're not victims, we just don't care
We chase money, but we run from our fate
The Violator, the beast from our waste
