lyrics

you are not worthy
As i am not worthy
As we are not worthy to command to rule to make to take to break others
yet this is what are taught to by mothers by fathers and by all the others
over others to pursue position in this system
so everyone you undermined would always just listen
your high values and your noble thoughts will not make a difference in this matter
for you will fail as everyone has always failed
for the nature of power has always been to corrupt
and the nature of man is to by it be corrupt
and all of you with power are the same
you're righteous and blind and you have no shame
blind to your faults and hungry for more
hungry for the feeling of rising above
pushing down others just so they would be below
such is the man i have gotten to know

the reason
the reason we hate
your authority today
is the injustice we felt
in the hands of others yesterday

and we do
we see right through you
we see the inevitable consequences
of the culture that will consume you
and soon we'll all be to blame for the
rules of the game
the rules and rulers who make this world insane
you will break and you will grow cold
and when you do your ignorance will follow

the reason
the reason we hate
your authority today
is the injustice we felt
in the hands of others yesterday

and we know the lengths that you go
to keep your position secured
privileges ensured
to lead is now the essence of your being
masses and paragons your way of seeing
to lose that would be to lose yourself
a shame to admit your like everybody else
we have seen it thousand times before
but it stops now as i cant fucking stand you no more

the reason
the reason we hate
your authority today
is the injustice we felt
in the hands of others yesterday

this song is not only for the high positions
but for all of us that make any decisions
its about how we treat the people around us
the people who respect us the people trust us
its about the ignorant nature of human beings
and the fucked up situation were all put in
to crave for the power we do not deserve
to crave for the power we do not deserve
