"Chump Change" lyrics

"Chump Change"

Towering altars of gluttony
Violators of heaven's divide
And here we all stand
Begging for autonomy

Craving for decency
Everything is for sale
We live in the applause of the gods
Gasping for culture
Everyone is for sale

Gaze upon the borzois
Hunting in the gilt bronze
And gleaming black marble
You will never belong
Mother of exiles
New Colossus
Capital sensation
Neuer Koloss
For a small fee
Новый колосс
Welcome to New York
La même chose, the same hell

Woe!
Spare us, O lightning god
We came for more
And stayed for less
A brave new world
The same old suffering

Again, misery prospers
Oh, what a world
