Behind Enemy Lines

Gluttons Of Privilege

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 class

Lavished in luxury (is never enough) with more to amass

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 class

Lavished in luxury (is never enough) with more to amass

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 masses 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 classist 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 class

Lavished in luxury (is never enough) with more to amass

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
