New world politics Corruption, cruel tricks Capitalism, business I have to resist them Verse 1: The greedy kingdom People lured to stardom Fame is cultures' goal Needless wars take its toll Never mind the races' progression Money's now my life obsession Materialism over making a difference Its time now to have some resistance CHORUS The Worst of the human nature Is revered in the new world V2: The centre of capitalism Basks in its wealth and glory Before it all ends and life gets gory Because what rises must fall in the end So be prepared for the worst my friend Why must we now take for granted What has been given to us? The life that has to us been handed Has been snatched from their trust CHORUS BRIDGE I look at the lies and deceit and sigh Paranoia is not the way to make ends meet But why, why must we take this path Look at our instincts and you do the math. CHORUS TRANSITION TO OUTRO OUTRO(QUOTE FROM TOOL'S LATERALUS): "I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected.... to feel inspired, to fathom the power to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain.... to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human...."
Its a good start. I think you really should write some more for verse 2 and maybe do a bridge or a 3rd verse.
OK! Its all finished. I'm especially proud of the bridge , but I HAD to add that TOOL quote (mods if that isn't allowed, even if you give credit to the original author just tell me), because it fit so nicely with what I was trying to convey here as the song progressed. Enjoy!
