you can't tame capitalism
it's easier to get Judge Judy to listen
it's easier to put a crooked cop in prison
it's easier to prove Jesus Christ has risen
we fist bump America and kill civilians
then cry when people blow up bombs with nails in em
ready to kill for a failed system
amphetamine driven, tail spinning, failed mission
selling weapons to the Saudis
even though we know about the link to the Wahhabis
cool with moderated rebels, White Helmet softies
chopping people's fucking heads off like Mombi
Justin with the crocodile tears when there's a bombing
blood on his hands but fuck look at that body!
looking like the type that eats right and does karate
lifestyles of the bourgeoisie
it take money to make money, you get it?
it ain't Maybelline but I'm guessing he's born with it
trust fund got about a million bucks in it
while I can't afford to go and fill a script from the clinic
leader of the free world, they're calling you a hottie
graduated, pissed off he only got an Audi
cultivated look, your style's looking gaudy
lifestyles of the bourgeoisie
