"Eject The Rich" lyrics
So you want to save us all?
Take our chances in the stars?
Snake oil to stop a meteor
Run work camps up on Mars
I've got a better idea, what if you go first?
And we eject the rich into space
Since you wanna be a star
Into space
I promise we'll remember who you were
Do something useful for once
Strap yourself into a rocket, fly straight into the sun
Don't come back
Megalomaniac
Don't come back
Enough with what we've had
Sell the fixes to your faults
There's not a crisis you would waste
Put rainbows on surveillance drones
For the wars that you create
We're all wise to your little game
Go find a bigger fool
Maybe you should look out in space
Where no one can hear you scam
Out in space
So many shiny rocks you can extract
Use your saviour complex for once
And save us from yourself go fly straight into the sun
I'm not listening to anymore of your bullshit
It's time to go
Save it for E.T. or whatever you encounter
In the endless cold
You'll be happier without us draining your profits
For survival
You'll be the richest person for millions of light-years
All alone
[Owner:] You can't do this to me, I own this whole place - I own your houses, the media, this city, I own YOU
[Push:] Yeah yeah, just get in the airlock
[Owner:] When I get out of here, I'm going to have you all turned into rocket fuel, do you hear me?!
[Push:] Don't worry, you're gonna have a better life, out in space
[Owner:] Don't you know who built this town-
Well there he goes. In reality what we want is transformative justice but hey, it's an album we deserve a little treat y'know what I'm saying? Now, we all know power loves a vacuum... Fortunately, organizers on the moon have been preparing for this moment and know that power can be decentralized and distributed across communities instead of concentrated in one person's stupid hands. Now they can start to build the world they want to see...
