Behind Enemy Lines - Gluttons of Privilege lyrics

We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege As they rewrite the labor laws to subjugate the poor We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege By sering our lords on the factory floor We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege Shouldering the tax breaks for the politically affluent We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege Setting the groundwork for our own social displacement Privilege: the birthright of the ruling cla** Lavished in luxury (is never enough) with more to ama** Social conscience takes a backseat to profit And their trickle-down policies (are never enough) never emit The elite stuff themselves like pigs at the trough While the scraps from their tables (are never enough) are tapering off If you're born at the bottom life can be tough But when you're on top of the world then it's never enough We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege As we take another step closer towards privatization We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege Blinded by the daily grind we miss the correlation We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege Lay off millions of workers to increase the stock market average We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege As they slaughter the workforce and dine on the carnage Privilege: the birthright of the ruling cla** Lavished in luxury (is never enough) with more to ama** Social conscience takes a backseat to profit And their trickle-down policies (are never enough) never emit The elite stuff themselves like pigs at the trough While the scraps from their tables (are never enough) are tapering off If you're born at the bottom life can be tough But when you're on top of the world then it's never enough Opening their checkbooks, buying and selling lives Human dignity is sacrificed but the status quo survives Stepping on the poor to lift profit margins higher Gutting social programs to build empire after empire Enslaved by the industrialists as opportunities falter Standing on the ruins of those buried by the dollar They insure that our standard of living will continue depleting Because an unemployed workforce keeps the ma**es competing We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege As they export the job market with cut-throat ambition We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege We're baited in the retrace by this cla**ist tradition We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege We're lost in the debris of a global plutocracy We're all feeding the gluttons of privilege Because we're all scavengers of a trickle-down economy Privilege: the birthright of the ruling cla** Lavished in luxury (is never enough) with more to ama** Social conscience takes a backseat to profit And their trickle-down policies (are never enough) never emit The elite stuff themselves like pigs at the trough While the scraps from their tables (are never enough) are tapering off If you're born at the bottom life can be tough But when you're on top of the world then it's never enough
