about

THIS SONG PERSONIFIES CAPITALISM AND BANKERS AS SOME KIND OF OGRE OR TROLL OF SORTS THAT LIKES TO TERRORISE THE GENERAL POPULATION.

lyrics

Shock to the skull makes your vision funny,
It can't wait to get it's fingers on your money.
It's got rotten teeth and it's breath smells funny,
You're scared shitless at the prospect of becoming,
Over and done with, dead and gone,
Better grit your teeth, better swallow your tongue!
It's going to take just what it likes,
It pays for it's cars with your freedom and life!

Fear not what's illegal but what's legit,
Accept the fact you're powerless!
Don't kid yourself, you won't be missed,
It'll come back for your wife and kids.

Grind your bones to make it's bread,
Repossess all your assets.
Stand and deliver, kneel and submit,
You're kidding yourself if you think it gives a shit.
Cash in it's pockets, numbers on a screen,
Bullshit will it treat you like a human being.
