In the Name of Profit (Trigger Warning, may be unsettling, but it is our reality)
I’ll shoot my fellow man in the head
In the name of profit
I’ll watch as schoolchildren get murdered
Dead
Time and time again
And do nothing about it
In the name of profit
I’ll serve you foods that puncture your heart
In the name of profit
I’ll take credit for your art
I'll rip you apart
In the name of profit
I walk past the homeless and hungry
I'm only focused on money
In the name of profit
I’ll pollute the earth
Light it with a torch
And watch it scorch
In the name of profit
I’ll pretend I’m a prophet
Sell you hopes and dreams
Knowing you’ll believe.
I lie cheat and steal
And there's nothing you can do to stop it
Sell my soul to the devil
In the name of profit.
