"Famine" lyrics

"Famine"

Poverty brings forth our darkest perversions
A starving belly leads to a starving mind
And entire species possessed by monetary gain
This demon has its grip on the world

Twitching in an icy cold alley way
A women ejects the contents
Of a used condom into her Womb
Shackled by corruption and raped by the system

She's been left for dead by the world
Born into poverty and left with no other choice
She envisions a new future
Months have passed as the fetus develops
Within her rotten womb

Begging for money and ingesting filth
Scratching and picking her scabs don't heal
A life so dull she no longer dreams in color...
That night she bashes at her swollen belly with a brick
She wants her new born baby retarded

Born unto a world unfairly maimed
Your life begins to fade
Your mother rendered you helpless
Born for nothing but monetary gain

Forcefully disabled
No hope remains (Remains)
You won't be the last to pay
Born for nothing but monetary gain
Born for nothing but monetary gain
Born for nothing but monetary gain
Born for nothing but monetary gain
