about

Crowns should be cardboard, and reserved for children.

lyrics

They say that things are looking like they're in control,
because the T.V and the papers killed the names that they don't wanna know.
But I say "Well there's just one thing that I gotta know,
who appointed us the kings to rape and profit off of those below?"
Well I don't wanna come off as an asshole or sound too bold
but we wash another blood-bath off our hands with a blindfold
so excuse me if the peek I give ya makes you feel a little pissed off.

They say that we have privatized the industry
to give ourselves a few more seconds with the mirrors in our S.U.V's.
Well I'm not trying to tell you to become another yahoo
or a building burning cop-car turning sideshow for the day news,
simply I'd suggest we try to fight the selfish urge to stay on top.
