Islands of Greed

gritty,rock,electricwitharawedge

[Verse]
Golden pens sign on wrinkled hands
Promises float like castles in sand
Coins jingle louder than prayers at night
Who’s the shepherd
Who’s the bite

[Chorus]
Oh the islands of greed
Where the truth can’t feed
Hearts are sold
Souls on lease
No justice
Just a smile to appease

[Verse 2]
Smoke from towers
It stains the sky
Pockets deeper than the ocean’s cry
They toast to lies
A feast of fools
Breaking their own unwritten rules

[Prechorus]
But the streets are awake
They carry a song
The people are tired
They’ve waited too long

[Chorus]
Oh the islands of greed
Where the truth can’t feed
Hearts are sold
Souls on lease
No justice
Just a smile to appease

[Bridge]
What’s a vote but a borrowed voice
A game where you never had a choice
They raise their glasses
We raise our fists
Their riches fade
But we exist
