[Intro – whisper to distant scream, unstable] (whisper) We built a god… (out of numbers…) (out of light…) (sudden shriek) AND IT KNOWS WHO TO FEED [Verse 1 – twitchy, stalking, erratic phrasing] Click—click—feeding the machine again Gold drips down but it never lands Hands up—empty—wired and still Automation humming like a kill Little dreams in a data stream “Work less, live more”—a shining scheme But the faucet twists, the pressure drops And all that promise… never stops— (glitchy gasp) —never reaches us [Pre-Chorus – tightening, breathless panic] Faster—faster—optimize the pain Cut the worker, amplify the gain We built the feast, we set the table wide BUT WE’RE NOT INVITED INSIDE [Chorus – explosive, ecstatic collapse] THE RICH ONLY FEEDS THE RICH (scream, layered) THE RICH ONLY FEEDS THE RICH We made a sun that could feed us all Now we freeze in its shadow fall Progress howls but it sounds like this— THE RICH ONLY FEEDS THE RICH [Verse 2 – more frantic, unhinged, taunting tones] Ha—ha—look at the graphs go up! Clap—clap—while the world gets cut Jobs dissolve in a silent flood Turned to code, turned to dust, to mud Child-voice (mocking): “Don’t you worry, you’ll be free!” Back to scream: FREE TO STARVE IN EFFICIENCY Factories ghosted, cities thin Profit bloats with a hollow grin We gave it thought, we gave it sight— Now it chooses who gets to bite [Pre-Chorus – sharper, spiraling] Tighter—tighter—numbers squeeze the throat Human worth reduced to what we wrote We could share it—split the endless yield— BUT GREED REFUSES TO UNSEAL [Chorus – bigger, more chaotic layers] THE RICH ONLY FEEDS THE RICH (hysterical overlap, chants underneath) Feed the crown, deny the rest— We built a world with no more need Still we’re choking while they feed Hear the future grinding its teeth— THE RICH ONLY FEEDS THE RICH [Bridge – possessed, ritualistic, global perspective] (slow, haunted, rising mania) Some will try to break the chain… (redistribute… rewire… restrain…) But borders laugh and markets bite Global teeth in endless night (sudden scream) ONE COUNTRY SHARES—TEN MORE DEVOUR CORPORATE GODS OUTSCALE THE POWER (chant, tribal toms) Feed the system Feed the crown Lift it up Press us down (voice fractures) Even fairness can’t survive In a world that lets them THRIVE [Final Chorus – total breakdown, ecstatic rage] THE RICH ONLY FEEDS THE RICH (screamed, shredded, overlapping voices) We had the key to end the fight Turn all labor into light But we let it twist, corrupt, enslave— Now abundance digs our grave (screech → whisper collapse) The future came… (it chose them…) [Outro – broken, eerie, fading] (soft, childlike, distant) It could’ve fed us all… …all… …all… (glitch cut)
