Override

from Heartsick Harmony by Gadè

/

lyrics

Whispers in the distance
Tremors on the ground
Wishing they would fade away
To something less profound

Bend to my benediction
Might keep you around
Behold my gold and glory
Be a faithful hound

Hardly think it's for discussion
How the business gets done
Don't expect to climb the ladder
Unless you've already won

See we're literally above them
Towers built on their blood
Without their true creators
They'd be scraping mud

We could use someone like you
An asset, a facet
Distracting, dramatic
Join our team, our rewards scheme
Riches can't be dirty
When you say they're squeaky clean!

Think it's your decision how you'd like to feel
We'll override!
Want a warm bed and a decent meal
Get on our side!
Think it's your decision how you'd like to feel
We'll override!
Want a warm bed and a decent meal
Get on our side!

Planning a perfect future vision
Getting boots on the ground
Protecting our provision
Weatherproof our model town

Work is already in motion
The schedule's heating up
When the cities are an ocean
Bolly in my cup

Might meet with some resistance
Party poopers are no fun
Long as you do the job right
Bullish banks can never run

Matter of dressing up and cadence
Words can hold back the flood
Harness their imagination
Collective action gets the snub

We could use someone like you
An asset, a facet
Distracting, dramatic
Join our team, our rewards scheme
Riches can't be dirty
When you say they're squeaky clean!

Think it's your decision how you'd like to feel
We'll override!
Want a warm bed and a decent meal
Get on our side!
Think it's your decision how you'd like to feel
We'll override!
Want a warm bed and a decent meal
Get on our side!

Pudding over proof
Bought and paid-for truth
Taking back the right
To rule you with our might
Reason and science are lost
So suckers keep buying no matter the cost
Held aloft by the pawns that we have in play
Smoothing things over – delaying dismay

Old money stays aloof
Tucked away, still on the hoof
Stride the earth but stepping light
Tea on the hill – direct the fight
Policy makers and readers of news
For just a few dollars will parrot our views
Is it too much to ask to own every last thing?
Head into space, mine Saturn's own rings

Humans are my toys
So now you serve me boy
Always been this way
Gold rules and money sways
Rarely burdened by mortal catastrophe
Gloss over crimes – verbal plasticity
Nothing to do – pleading is trite
Forces are mine and shooting on sight!

We'll override!
Get on our side
Or we'll override!
