Lyrics for Look Down On Us

Same old same old toxic fables Nameless empty cradles Defined by half arsed labels Faithless They reek of selfish favours I teach what I am able and seek more than I'm told to We are self fulfilling prophecies the attitude get with it See the burning in your eyes that's the type of life I'm living Over cautious pride's a waste they're full of fucking horse shit On the forbes list smiling hard like they're proud of their extortion I go harder got no honour got no grace There's genocide abundant we all just turned away And sold for a bargain lap it up like dogs hear them barking The cunning isn't subtle you're a target They look down on us Look down on us Look down on us They look down Look down on us They look down on us They take the food out our hands how much more until we starve? Depleted our community the truth is always hard Swallow pills knock them back to manage our emotions Corporations profit hard then cackle like some vultures Picking bones through their teeth caught between the meat See the blood dripping down to the claws on their feet Self deceiving honour bleeding there's a liar in the devil Through the smoke the fire breathing leave you nothing but disheveled What? The red pours bludgeoning the truth Tepid and it's flakey evidence and proof Politician snaky stuck inside a loop When it's money over mind there will never be a truce They look down on us Look down on us They look down us on Look down on us Look down on us Look down on us When the culture is oppressed we dress up all our trauma The truth is hard to find hidden deep within ones aura Looking up above instead of looking within ourselves My universe works mentally my body is a shell So why so much division has the joy all left our heads? Maybe it's the fear of having no one in in our beds It's empowering to think that all the hateful people out there If they were only shown more love they wouldn't be so spiteful Love is my God I don't care what you say All the hate in our hearts it takes us further away From the truth that we keep but we swallow it down Like that lump in your throat when you can't make a sound I wanna say you are powerful mighty as a God Disconnected love got us always acting up Hand me down traumas no evolving from our pain Never speaking up has got us always feeling tame Take a look around you a spirit in us all Dampened eyes that say this world can be so cruel A that cry washes down we're fearful just to feel it Always looking down on others depleted how we're healing Turn pain to power put faith in love Be firm and loyal in yourself put trust Be twice the ocean be twice the land Be twice the water for your sons and daughters And Love Love Love Show love Show love They look down on us They look down on us
