Enough to Breathe

Who in hell would choose to run from home?
What the hell are we doing here?
I see the power plays, the money chains
Some bastard’s cashing in on pain
You’re never safe where the gold runs deep
Not when vultures circle, hungry to feed


I see it! Yeah, I see!
Clear as day but nobody believes me


Drive ’em out, lock ’em in
Make a profit off their skin
Debt for life, sell the lie
While the rich man sleeps just fine
This is the sickness,
This is the crime
We’re living in a sick world,
And we’re running out of time


Rich lands fall when the wolves move in
And the wolves wear suits with a plastic grin
Force the flight, aim ’em high
To debt-free nations where the trap’s inside
Refuge costs, the welcome’s thin
Loan sharks grin while the cameras spin


I see it! Yeah, I see!
Clear as day but they’ll never believe me


Drive ’em out, lock ’em in
Make a profit off their skin
Debt for life, sell the lie
While the rich man sleeps just fine
This is the sickness,
This is the crime
We’re living in a sick world,
And we’re running out of time


No mercy in the marble halls
No freedom when the hammer falls
They built the war, they sold the cure
And chained the ones they swore to secure


Drive ’em out, lock ’em in
Bleed ’em dry, make it spin
Debt for life, feed the flame
While the guilty hide their name
This is the sickness,
This is the crime
We’re living in a sick world,
And we’re running out of time
