I am King!
And therefore I am Law!
You proletariat, you petite bourgeoisie
Easy livin' bein' up here at the top
Where we make the rules
We break the rules
But we don't stop
And if you think of comin' at us with a show of force
Know we got the means to put you down with no remorse
Unless we lost support
And as a last resort
You smashed the gates and trashed the place
And ruled it by the sword
Mosis:
Because the gate keepers got no gates to keep
And now everybody's in it if they want to be
I know everybody's suffered and they've had it tough
But they don't anticipate that you've had enough
Cozzybones:
You're at the pinnacle, the first percent
Living life in luxury and opulence
Hedonism paves the way to decadence
If you'd seen it coming you'd a built a bigger fence
Mob is coming for ya drag you through the street
Parade you and display you till the spectacle is complete
No eyes, no hands, no tongue, no feet
To the pain, motherfucker, because death's too sweet
Now the people got the power
Now the righteous have their hour
Always sweet and never sour
Ascend atop the ivory tower
But now something has just occurred to me
We must prevent a repeat of this history
Underhanded vipers trying to take my seat
I put em down, an keep em down,
I rule by any means
Because the gate keepers got no gates to keep
And now everybody's in it if they want to be
I know everybody's suffered and they've had it tough
But they don't anticipate that you've had enough
These are extreme days now
When the machine breaks down
It's a regime change
But everything's the same now
