Wealth Contagion Lyrics


Everything has a price

Your data and your life

Convenience became exploitation

We’re willing victims of the wealth contagion

Stocks go up, stocks go down

Ride the wave until we drown

Watch them gamble with your life

Overtaken by the wealth contagion

Stolen resource, no remorse

Artifice as intelligence

Our advancements are our end

Under the boot of the wealth contagion

Evictions, convictions

A broken justice system

Only the rich will they acquit

Symptoms of the wealth contagion

Famine reigns

Welfare and healthcare they blame

Taxing the rich, a sin

No curing the wealth contagion

White collar crime

Bailed out every time

‘cause of the color of your skin

Just more symptoms of the wealth contagion

Student loans suffocate

Housing crisis be damned

Leaders’ heads in the sand

Constant denial of a wealth contagion

Prices soar

It only affects the poor

They have to choose between food and a place to live

The real victims of wealth contagion

Price gouging unchecked

You say pro-life but for the poor it’s pro-death

A revolution, all that’s left

If we want to cure the wealth contagion.
