“Hunger for Profit” is a Scottish folk-rock protest anthem written by Derek Gault under AusticZone. Blending raw vocals, bodhrán, fiddle, and slow-march rhythm, it confronts the brutal machinery that turns war and suffering into profit.

This song tells four connected truths about our world:

1. **War as an Industry** – It exposes how the powerful build wealth through destruction, feeding off conflict while ordinary people pay the price. The battlefield becomes a balance sheet, and lives become statistics.

2. **Greed and Corruption** – It condemns those who manipulate nations for personal gain — CEOs, politicians, and warmongers who call cruelty “business.” The lyrics shine a harsh light on the hunger for dominance that drives exploitation.

3. **The Human Cost** – Behind every headline and speech are families, workers, and dreamers left to starve, suffer, and mourn. The song gives voice to those who bear the weight of others’ greed — the ones history too often forgets.

4. **Rebellion and Rebirth** – Out of ashes and exhaustion comes defiance. The final verses transform despair into resolve — a belief that people can rise again, reclaiming the world from those who profit from pain.

This isn’t just an anti-war song — it’s a cry for humanity, solidarity, and truth. A soundscape of resistance that echoes across borders and generations.
