[Verse 1] [shouted] Oh wow, look at our lords, so generous, so grand Capturing our sweat with a friendly, guiding hand [sang] They smile, they wave, they sip their wine Saying “Just Work hard; you’ll be fine!" [shouted] They pull the strings, and write the tale Yet somehow, it’s OUR fault we fail!? [sang] They climb so high, live it up real large. But hey, we LOVE to pay for them to be in charge! [Pre-Chorus] They sell the dream, they force the lie Work ‘til you break, Better fall in line! [Chorus] [shouted] Fortune favours the rich! [sang] But don’t worry; we CHOSE this life, right!? We love the grind! We love the fight! Keep us hungry, keep us weak And tell us we’re “on the brink” The truth is masked, the chains in place The real enemies are the others in the rat Race! [shouted] Fortune favours the rich! [Verse 2] They throw the scraps, then call us spoiled Tell us “If you suffer, that means you toiled!” They lock the gates, and bar the way Yet tell us, “Anyone can play!” They hoard the gold, they set the rules Yet swear that we’re just lazy fools! They twist the knife, and bend the truth You too can win, buy my book for proof! [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] [mockingly spoken, laughing through the grit] Fortune favours the brave you say? Bravery? It’s a joke, a trick Hard work’s just another gilded whip [Chorus] Fortune favours the rich! But don’t worry; we CHOSE this life, right!? We love the grind! We love the fight! Keep us hungry, keep us weak And tell us we’re “on the brink” The truth is masked, the chains in place The real enemies are the others in the rat Race! Fortune favours the rich! [Breakdown] [Bridge] [pure rage, guttural screams] Burn the banks, break the chains Take it back, reclaim our reign [Chorus] [shouted] Fortune favours the rich! [Sang] But don’t worry; we CHOSE this life, right!? We love the grind! We love the fight! Keep us hungry, keep us weak And tell us we’re “on the brink” The truth is masked, the chains in place The real enemies are the others in the rat Race! [shouted] Fortune favours the rich! [Outro] Fortune favours the rich! They rise, we rot, but we don’t quit! [Spoken] Seriously let’s just fucking eat them…
