Lamb Of God - Gears lyrics
[Lamb Of God - Gears lyrics]
You suffer from a manufactured sickness
And envy by design
Pre-calculated status and patterns of desire
Accumulation and adoration
Built to feed your ostentation
Perpetually unsatisfied, but you never question why
So hang it on the wall of your golden cage
Tell yourself that it means something
Empty actions to fill the time
Commercial gods keep you in line
Industry and empire thrive
While you're dying for always more
Your endless hunger automated
industry defined
A systematic impulse, parametric lines
Subjugation and degradation, the blueprint
To your annihilation
Your assets personified
A product of the times
So hang a mirror on the
Wall of your golden cage
Tell yourself that you mean something
Empty actions to fill the time
Commercial gods keep you in line
Industry and empire thrive
While you're dying for always more
So you can't take it with you
But you don't use it now
A shallow life to crush you
Drive you into the ground
So scared to lose the nothings you acquire
Everything must fall, bones on a pyre
(So scared to lose it all)
(So scared to lose it all)
(So scared to lose it all) always more
Always more more and more and more
Empty actions to fill the time
Commercial gods keep you in line
Industry and empire thrive
While you're dying for always more
Always more
And envy by design
Pre-calculated status and patterns of desire
Accumulation and adoration
Built to feed your ostentation
Perpetually unsatisfied, but you never question why
So hang it on the wall of your golden cage
Tell yourself that it means something
Empty actions to fill the time
Commercial gods keep you in line
Industry and empire thrive
While you're dying for always more
Your endless hunger automated
industry defined
A systematic impulse, parametric lines
Subjugation and degradation, the blueprint
To your annihilation
Your assets personified
A product of the times
So hang a mirror on the
Wall of your golden cage
Tell yourself that you mean something
Empty actions to fill the time
Commercial gods keep you in line
Industry and empire thrive
While you're dying for always more
So you can't take it with you
But you don't use it now
A shallow life to crush you
Drive you into the ground
So scared to lose the nothings you acquire
Everything must fall, bones on a pyre
(So scared to lose it all)
(So scared to lose it all)
(So scared to lose it all) always more
Always more more and more and more
Empty actions to fill the time
Commercial gods keep you in line
Industry and empire thrive
While you're dying for always more
Always more
