Capitalism has produced a system of losers; a system that has replaced worth and meaning by money; created a hierarchy that reduces humans to numbers.
It has created a world where nature doesn't exist. Happiness is an idea, a commodity. And a future, with a dead environment, bleaker still.
This is Society Undead.
lyrics
I woke up dead, in black and white
Dim light from window, day as night
Sores and slashed, dark stains my skin
Another day, decay within.
The streets, in gloom, the abyss gaze
Nameless dead walking, hunger raged.
Street lepers, skulk in shadows
Hide from masters, from their predators
Pre Chorus
We're all undead, Waiting for the end
Don't want your money, (they) want our souls
Chorus
Class society - is eating itself alive
Capitalist Cannibals feed, off humankind
Class society - is eating the weak alive
Capitalist Cannibals feed, off humankind
Blackened hearts, the money fiends
Endless pain for endless needs
Watch through the glass, the blind leads blind
Apocalypse now, into the night.
Woke up, more dead than yesterday
Howls getting nearer, they coming for me
All pawns in place, yeah I heard it before
No winners, all losers, in the system we're born
