barmecide feast - beyond grace lyrics

Loading...

we have been having the same argument
with folks who keep peddling some version of trickle down economics
they keep telling us that if we’d convert more of our investments in education and research and health care into tax cuts
especially for the wealthy
somehow we’d all be better off

and now behold
a feast befitting famine, a decadent display
of shameless arrogance and ignorance barely disguised as disdain

what have we done to deserve such callous disregard?
watching them grow fat upon our labour as we struggle not to starve

manna for the masses
perpetuates the lie
with bread and circuses they keep us
meek and pacified

you must beware
the path of good intentions, it paves the road to h*ll
and those who claim to lead you will not pay the toll themselves

how much of this can we endure
till we cannot swallow any more?

all that glitters is not golden
and empty promises are easily broken
leading us into starvation
feeding us a liar’s banquet until we choke
gnawing at the feeble scr*ps falling from their table
forcing us to claw and scratch for every meagre morsel

barmecide feast
belly of the beast
bite the hand that feeds you
before it bleeds you dry

bite the hand that feeds you
before it bleeds you dry

all that glitters is not golden
and empty promises are easily broken
leading us into starvation
feeding us a liar’s banquet until we choke

barmecide feast
belly of the beast
bite the hand that feeds you
before it bleeds you dry
barmecide feast
decadence deceives
it’s all an illusion
there is no honour among thieves
