Punish the Poor Lyrics by Walking Dead On Broadway

Dead Era

0

It's easy to kill if the first stone is already cast
Do you believe in the law of sacrifice?
Do you believe that no life comes without a price?
When hands are empty and wells run dry
Do you believe that there's no ease unless somebody has to pay?
Seeking the blame where the suffering is
If all the blessing is only trickling down from the top
Then there is no more merit to the wretched at the bottom
If the world is only set forward by the heirs of success
Then failure is a spell that becomes merged with your soul
In this system with its vampyrical god
The living creature is only as good as she is cheap
The triumphant grin in accounting for their blessings
Is the counterfeit of the grimace of humiliation
Remember you must not only submit
You also have to feel the guilt
'Cause this is no helping hand
This is a punishment
If you can't stand the sight of immiseration anymore
Is it not easy to close every door
And punish the poor?
Where there is misery you suspect a sin
Don't feel guilty, you do well to condemn
Do you think you will be spared, if you hit on someone else?
Do you think you can rob of the poor what the rich keep for themselves?
It's easy to kill if the first stone is already cast
Trading your anger for a worthless grudge
You will be judged by the measure
By which you judge
Fighting disorder with anomy
Punishing the poor for poverty
In this system with its vampyrical god
The unexploitable are left to rot
By the standard of a prosperous promise
Never to keep the living creature is only as good
As she is cheap
A sacrifice to lower the price
Do you think that the poor have spent what the rich are unable to pay?
Do you think that scapegoating the victims will keep the immiseration at bay?
Making the misery you wreak
Responsible for the misery you wreak
Your conciliation today
Tomorrow is your demise
Where is the good life that you envy?
What is the intolerable thing you see?
In revenge you withdraw your solidarity
Trading a companion for an enemy
For an enemy
It's easy to kill if the first stone is already cast
Trading your anger for a worthless grudge
You will be judged by the measure by which you judge
Fighting disorder with anomy
Punishing the poor for poverty
Fighting disorder with anomy
Punishing the poor for poverty
Are they unworthy of your solidarity?
