Mordred - Not For You

You're the perfect
You're the great
You're the humble
You're the saint
We've been lyin' here
And we've been sheddin' tears
You're the sun, you're the sun
We'll revolve around the one
Ordained by those in charge
We see you sitting large

God exists when I call
Take what you want from all
Back down and out of sight
Cause this American dream
Is not for you, it's not
It's a lock on the box
There's a bar on the door
Back down and out of sight Cause this American dream
Is not for you, it's not

God forbid we live, Can't afford to die
All we have to give, No way to deny
My eternal gift , Burning in my eyes
All my thoughts adrift, Listen only lies

It's a scam it's a sham
Use a shell for a spell
Use who I can trust
Makin' dollar boom or bust
See my lawyer for the why
Reframe it
Then game it
Then charge you interest
In the name of

God exists when I call
Take what you want from all
Back down and out of sight
Cause this American dream
Is not for you, it's not
It's a lock on the box
There's a bar on the door
Back down and out of sight
Cause this American dream
Is not for you, it's not

No apologies, Can't apologize, Easy to believe, No way to disguise
All that you receive, Tears the angels cry, Stricken with disease, All that you despise
Burning in my brain, kill the beast inside, in this life of pain, suffer from your pride
Gluttony and greed, All you can desire, Everything you need, then we all expire

Red and blue states in a black and white world pay attention what you see is what you get
The image of accomplishment is just an illusion urban quicksand never ending debt
The resurrection of monoliths, where used to stand projects all familiar faces are gone
Now there's paper millionaires looking like I don't belong in the city I was born this is wrong

God exists when I call
He told me yesterday
Take what you want from all
I'm busy anyway
Back down and out of sight
Cause this American dream
Is not for you it's not
It's a lock on the box
It's what our parents prayed for
There's a bar on the door
We won't allow it anymore
Back down and out of sight
Cause this American dream
Is not for you, it's not

No apologies, Can't apologize, Easy to believe, No way to disguise
All that you receive, Tears the angels cry, Stricken with disease, All that you despise
Burning in my brain, kill the beast inside, in this life of pain, suffer from your pride
Gluttony and greed, All you can desire, Everything you need, then we all expire
