A Pyramid Scheme

In too deep.
Watching fortunes being made on the cheap.
Out of control,
Someone’s always hungry for an empty soul.

What dya take from me?
When I’m already used up.
What dya make off me?
When I got nothing to lose?

Same old fears,
Looking like it’s another wasted year.
Know your place,
The price of membership is written on your face.

Living in a pyramid scheme,
The money always flows upstream.
Life under a pyramid scheme,
Another day eats into your dreams.
I’m always stuck in between,
A hole and a pyramid scheme.

Pay your tax,
Billionaires need you to take up the slack.
Pay your bills,
They’ve got to pay their politicians and shills.

Living in a pyramid scheme,
The money always flows upstream.
Life under a pyramid scheme,
Another day eats into your dreams.
I’m always stuck in between,
A hole and a pyramid scheme.

Life’s a loan, it’s carved in to every gravestone.
Remember pyramids are homes for rich men’s bones.
