Play'a Game (OLD)

Shadowed deals, greased feels, truth concealed, (Sold the soul, control, power sealed!) Profit from pain, keep the poor in chains, Greed in the veins, blood on the gains, Power remains, while the world’s in flames, They play the game, without the shame! They smile in your face, behind, they plot, Campaign for change, but it’s all for a spot, Money moves fast, ethics? Forgot, They fund both sides, truth’s tied in a knot. Backroom cigars, whispers decide, While families starve, profits collide, They gamble your fate, while markets ride, And sell you a dream, that’s hollow inside. Lie, cheat, push the blame, Fall, crawl, feel the flame, They rise, rig the game! Banks, tanks, political ranks, Deals, seals, profit pranks, Price on meds, raise the stakes, Sickness pays, truth breaks. They buy the press, shape the spin, Corruption wins, clean slate, sin, Golden grin, behind the skin, Dirt deep within, truth, too thin. Leaders smile with hollow eyes, Deals are struck, and justice dies, Hope is fleeting, hearts betrayed, In their darkness, we decay. Deals on the table, life gets sold, They flip the script, turn lies to gold, Your rights dissolve, while stocks unfold. Offshore cash, while the workers drown, They buy the judges, lock justice down, Speak too loud? Vanish, no crown. They’re tax evadin’, manipulatin’, votin’s just for demonstratin’, Profits from incarceratin’, families breakin’, stock inflatin’, Policies, cold disease, oppression with a guarantee, Pushin’ pills through pharmacies, livelihoods on hidden fees, Climate burning, profits churning, truth they keep on overturning, Lobby-funding, law discarding, human cost? Not their concern and, Public bleeding, while they’re feeding, lies repeating, hope’s retreating, They sell you wars, close the doors, while vultures feast on every meeting! SCHEMING!! Prophets of profit be pocketing promises, polishing policies, piling up hostages, Polling the populace, watching the populous, hollowing hope with apocalypse, Lobbyists, hobbyists, treating the obvious, monsters in offices, Toxic and bottomless, crushing the optimists, And if you resist, you vanish, anonymous! Profit from pain, keep the poor in chains, Greed in the veins, blood on the gains, Power remains, while the world’s in flames, They play the game, without the shame! Vote? It’s a token, Law? It’s broken, You were never chosen, Just a pawn, left frozen. Game over! Vote? It’s a token, Law? It’s broken, You were never chosen, Just a pawn, left frozen. Game over!
