"ETR" lyrics

"ETR"

Hm
Played with your money
Paid for the meal, but they brought you nothing
Chainsaw buzzing
Big piece of pie until they cut it
Some people just lucky, but the hand on your back makes you feel like a puppet again

Played with your money
Tap dance for it, now you're trained like a monkey
Sweatin' like a junkie
Paid for the ride, but the road's too rough
Up high, it's sunny
But down on the ground, it's grey and ugly again
So how do you win?

Just eat the rich
So delish
Favorite dish
It's come to this
Just plead the fifth
It's worth the risk

Ok, I know it
Reap what you sow it
They got the dynamite, but you're gonna blow it
Dripping in jewels as they walk through the graveyard
Suffering fools till you take what you're made for
Your bloodline is clearly wrong
Outnumbered by number one
No trust fund to sing your song
The dog has started barking again

Played with your money
No bow tie, no Playboy bunny
They claimed it was honey, but halfway in, it didn't taste so sweet
Some bags get chunky, but yours stay slim no matter how you study to win
Again and again

So eat the rich
So delish
Favorite dish
It's come to this
They've hit the time limit
It's worth the risk

I'm like, ooh, my soul
Man, I guess that I'm just paranoid
White face ghost
Build it up just so they can destroy
Playing this game for too long
Somebody hit that gong
To end
It's time to begin

So eat the rich
They hold the chips
Burn down the ship
Just take your pick
Don't shake the hand that twists
You're made for this
