Lyrics Age of Greed - Killing Joke

When was the last time you have a tender juicy steak
Alright now you can buy 300 pounds of USDA choice beef size
For a $1.35 per pound for 26 weeks at only 15.57 per week
At no extra charge, you receive a 60 pound free bonus
Ten ponds of pork chops, ten pounds of lean bacon
Ten ponds of pork steaks, ten pounds of ham
Also, 20 pounds of frying chickens, a total of 360 pounds
For only 15.57 per week, for 26 weeks

Ten percent of the land, is the hand that pulls the strings
Be the privileged few to have, to own, to hold
Power over the people, yes, yes power over people
Be the privileged few, to have, to own, to hold

Money property assets before lives
Green gestures of a dying planet
An endless debate only too late
An appetite for gluttony

The only way is up, the only way is up
But when you are up you have to try and stay there
So you start to cheat on people, start to cheat on people
Champagne breakfast rewards for the killings and a fat waist bulging
Indulging, with what you call 'good living'

But most of all there is too much fat on your heart, pig
A lifestyle of cholesterol, cross collateralized cholesterol
Saving what's left from profit margin, for what?
I'll tell you what for, for some conscience easing charity, why?
Just to justify! Just to justify!

Look at this utopia, society based on solid foundations
Educate our children, educate them world
To feather the nest and fuck the rest
Yes, yes, feather the nest and fuck the rest
Your waist expands, your waist expands
While others stand at the back of the queue, I mean you

Still the same old security for your creature comforts
Exchanging the hours of your life for the cash you've already spent
Eating rubbish so you can pay the rent
Table wine once a week if you're lucky, in comparison

Privatize the people's lives
Be part of the company or fade!
Our plans have changed to privatize their lives

Water is our business
Electricity is our business
Gas is our business
Lives are our business
Business is our business

Your money, my time
Your stinking industrial bathwater, my wine
Imbalance induces hate
How will you bridge the gap
Between the endless buffet
And the empty plates I have

I feel hate, I feel hate
I feel hate (hate), I feel hate
Don't be afraid to show your hate, hate!

You just treat me like a commodity
You don't know I couldn't even afford to feed my family
I just want to kill
I just want to take a gun and put it to your head
And pull the trigger
