about

This is a Cobra Brothers song that I wrote after the financial meltdown of 2008. I was starting undergrad and was feeling pretty disillusioned with everything I was seeing on the news. Now we’re reliving a similar situation, it’s just much worse. What’s that saying about “fool me twice?”

lyrics

The creation of jobs
We distribute our wealth
So we can go and fuck
It up
Again
Redistribute our wealth
To the hands of those who rule
Then set up rules to
Make sure this can’t happen again
No I cannot pretend
Corruption ever ends

And words like
Economy and currency
Are make believe
Just like the god who’s trust
We mark
On them
These borders are pretend
And I don’t believe it’s right
These things can destroy lives
The ones that were set up
For the sole purpose of holding up our industry
No
I cannot believe

If we locate the source
We burn it down
And finally voice
The masses and
We do not have
To live like this anymore
