lyrics

Verse 1: Praise your wins and ignore your losses,
Confess your sins and bear your crosses
Always stay a step ahead of your rivals
Stab them in the back as you quote the bible

Chorus 1: Well, it don't matter no how
There ain't no turnin' back now
Looks like we've reached our high noon
Looks like all mankind is doomed

Verse 2: Nowadays you're just the money you make
Expected to give but not to take
Never gonna get what you need
Your right to poverty is guaranteed

Chorus 2: But it don't matter no how
There ain't no turnin' back now
Rich and poor drown themselves in booze
Some tried to win, now all must lose

Verse 3: C'mon everybody now into the street
Punch with your fists and kick with your feet
Body hits cement and bacteria decays it
The end is at hand and we can't delay it

Chorus 3: Well it don't matter no how
There ain't no turnin' back now
Soon there won't be nothin' left to sell
What could've been heaven turned out to be hell

Pop meets psych freakout. ... more
