The Great Leap Forward

Slavish is lavish, just add the s

To the heaps of your Hedonist hordes of excess

So obsessed with the best that the West has to offer

Democracy scales are just nails to the coffer

Just Madoffs and Adolfs still claiming a stake

In banana republics, so let them eat cake

We can wait as we make a land full of their waste

And with fake as shit smiles we’ll spit in the face

Of their race to the bottom of fortune and fame

Where Satan and Jesus are one and the same

When morals are numbers, and justice is banks

And peace is for profit, compulsory tanks

But without them your life is a third world of grief

And your paycheck is merely a futile lord’s fief

Just a thief would I be, with the speech of a beggar

But I’d own these streets with a cloak and a dagger

As you learn to suffer the absence of self

Dematerializing your hunger for wealth

In a union of monkey gods breeding the seeds

Of the gardens of green this earth actually needs
