Halls of Gold

Halls of Gold

We are the people
Does that mean anything?
Why won't you hear us?
Do we mean nothing?
You say that it's the principle
But in truth you seek control

You claim to act with our interests in mind
Your actions uncovered that statement as a lie
Creating problems where none yet exist
Instead of solving them even though we insist!

Your choices are killing us
But you don't seem to care
After all we're all just another worm 
For you to step on
Your laws are degrading us
But what do I know?
Have you forgotten what life is like
Outside your Halls of Gold
Outside your Halls of Gold

Why vote when we know you're corrupt?
Why listen to your words when you can not back them up? 
Why give you power and let you abuse it? 
Why give you trust when you do only what you deem fit?

Do you think we're on the streets 'cos we're bored? 
And why is everything we ask of you ignored? 
This is our future after all
And your role in it will be rather small 

Your choices are killing us
But you don't seem to care
After all we're all just another worm 
For you to step on
Your laws are degrading us
But what do I know?
Have you forgotten what life is like
Outside your Halls of Gold

We call ourselves a democracy 
But all I see is tyranny 
You've diminished all of our choices
But for how long can you ignore our voices? 
We call ourselves a democracy 
But all I see is tyranny 
You've diminished all of our choices
But for how long can you ignore our voices? 

Your choices are killing us
But you don't seem to care
After all we're all just another worm 
For you to step on
Your laws are degrading us
But what do I know?
Have you forgotten what life is like
Outside your Halls of Gold
Outside your Halls of Gold
