BOARDGAME
Don't wanna read your quarterly report I know exactly what you're asking
for Another little sacrifice to keep the numbers high While somebody's family
gets another notice by You call it growth,
I call it taking Every promise made is another one you're breaking
Shake my hand, then raise the rent
Tell me where the money went
You want more, more,
more
How much is enough?
You bought the floor above us
Then you bought the floor below us
Boardroom bloodshed, champagne on the floor You bought another building,
then you bought another four
Boardroom bloodshed, golden elevator Everybody's getting poorer while you're getting greater You
call it business, I call it blood You build another tower while
we're drowning in the mud Boardroom bloodshed,
tell me when it ends How many empty houses
do you need to call yourself a king?
(tell me when it ends)
Penthouse windows looking down at the street
Counting up your millions while we're counting what to eat
You say the market's changing,
say the numbers don't lie
Funny how the numbers never tell us who had to die
You put a price tag on the neighborhood
Turned somebody's childhood into something you could sell for good
You call the eviction “restructuring”
Put a tie on the monster and call it entrepreneurship
Sign it, sell it,
move it, hide it Put the numbers where nobody can find it
Raise it, take it,
break it, buy it If somebody screams,
just call it market guidance
More! More!
More!
More! Another house, another floor Another locked and polished door Another family
pushed outside Another bonus justified
Boardroom bloodshed, champagne on the floor You bought another building,
then you bought another four
Boardroom bloodshed, golden elevator You keep climbing higher while the world gets
smaller later You call it business,
I call it blood
You built your empire out of everything we loved
Boardroom bloodshed, look at what you've made A million-dollar kingdom sitting on
a city of decay
Buy it!
Sell it!
Raise it!
Take it!
More, more, more, more— WHO'S GONNA PAY FOR IT?
