The Hand That Feeds
Lyrics
Know your place
Servant to the master
Play along
And you can climb the ladder
But when it starts to break
Those at the bottom
Are the first to burn
And told their fate is earned
While our overlords
Carried on palanquins
Look down and laugh
As we kill for their scraps
And if the hand that feeds still leaves me starving
Don't be surprised if I decide I've had enough
And if the powers that be still leave me hanging
Soon they will find out what it's like to be undone
Don't you try to cut out my tongue
I'm not some toy that you can throw away
You beat me like a cornered stray
So now you get the teeth and the fire underneath
(Go!)
Cast aside
Like a tool from last year
Powerless
Security disappears
Still the cogs move on
As if they never
Had use for you
There's always someone new
But every hand cut loose
Is a new ally
To unfix the rules
We won't be played for fools
And if the hand that feeds still leaves me starving
Don't be surprised if I decide I've had enough
And if the powers that be still leave me hanging
Soon they will find out what it's like to be undone
Don't you try to cut out my tongue
I'm not some toy that you can throw away
You beat me like a cornered stray
So now you get the teeth and the fire underneath
(Go!)
We will rise
We will rise
We will rise
We will rise
And if the hand that feeds still leaves us starving
Don't be surprised if we decide we've had enough
And if the powers that be still leave us hanging
Soon they will find out what it's like to be undone
And if the hand that feeds still leaves us starving
Don't be surprised if we decide we've had enough
And if the powers that be still leave us hanging
Soon they will find out what it's like to be undone
(Go!)
