Sweatin' Cheese

from Heartsick Harmony by Gadè

/

lyrics

If you don't mind, would you please excuse me?
Don't want to be a cog in your growing economy
I did ask nicely but you mustn't have heard me
Funny how living up high can be so deafening
It's all about numbers that have no morality
No sense of the world – ecologic frugality
A person's not part of a bigger machine
Creating the riches while you take the cream

It's never been fair to raise up your heir
At the expense of our fellows and all the earth
Laying my heart at the steps of your church
Watch games and eat cake
While we slowly awake
Daily grind only sharpens the blade
Get history books – see how this plays

Friends are starving in the streets
Elites who bathe in wine are sweatin' cheese
When the boat sinks we'll go
No gilded lilies
Friends are starving in the streets
Elites who bathe in wine are sweatin' cheese
When the boat sinks we'll go
No gilded lilies, we'll float

Wind has changed, you can smell denial
Feeding the trolls is nearly suicidal
Had the warnings, more than two or three
Keep digging your moat, we'll be under the sea
It's funny and ironic you call them shares
When even Robin Hood bends under your stare
Heard them say we're three meals away
Give up the gouging or come out to play

It's never been fair to raise up your heir
At the expense of our fellows and all the earth
Laying my heart at the steps of your church
Watch games and eat cake
While we slowly awake
Daily grind only sharpens the blade
Get history books – see how this plays

Friends are starving in the streets
Elites who bathe in wine are sweatin' cheese
When the boat sinks we'll go
No gilded lilies
Friends are starving in the streets
Elites who bathe in wine are sweatin' cheese
When the boat sinks we'll go
No gilded lilies, we'll float

I have to express this
It's so oppressive
To work and slave
Can't sleep, can't save
Crows come to roost
Not even my roof
Burnt out but restless
Leveraged possessions
Payment's down on my martyrs crown
No way out except through you

Friends are starving in the streets
Elites who bathe in wine are sweatin' cheese
When the boat sinks we'll go
No gilded lilies
Friends are starving in the streets
Elites who bathe in wine are sweatin' cheese
When the boat sinks we'll go
No gilded lilies
Friends are starving in the streets
Elites who bathe in wine are sweatin' cheese
When the boat sinks we'll go
No gilded lilies
Friends are starving in the streets
Elites who bathe in wine are sweatin' cheese
When the boat sinks we'll go
No gilded lilies, we'll float
