Oligarchy of the Masses Lyrics and Music by Victor Snow, 2015 Lay the blame for all your failures At the feet of your betters (It's all right, not your fault, it's all beyond your control) The 1% holds you down, Or maybe it's the 47 (Don't matter, as long as I can find a scapegoat for your plight Give me your trembling hand We're one vote away from the promised land! An Oligarchy of the Masses Constructed by the middle classes Enabled by the very ones Who claim they want to tear it all down, come on tear it on down. It's the evil, godless heathens, Profaning all that's holy (It's all right, they won't win, but I'm the only one who can stop them now ) It's the hating hypocrites, Fighting to keep you in your place (Don't matter, they'll die off, and leave the world to enlightened minds) Can't you almost smell the victory? But I need cash before delivery! An Oligarchy of the Masses Constructed by the middle classes Enabled by the very ones Who claim they want to tear it all down, come on tear it on down. I am your savior, come down to save you, never mind you've heard this all before Get behind my banner, I'll count the spoils, while you fight the phantom enemy An Oligarchy of the Masses Constructed by the middle classes Enabled by the very ones Who claim they want to tear it all down, come on now tear it on down. Oligarchy of the masses Carried on the backs of asses Worker drones, lobotomized Carrying the water for their slave master overlords You ain't tearing it down, you ain't tearing it down You ain't tearing it down, you ain't tearing it down You ain't tearing it down, you ain't tearing it down

You Cannot Save Us All lyrics and music by Victor Snow Walk through this door, you say, it's a window to a better future Turn away from selfish thoughts and embrace the whole. Cooperative existence will be the new reality. Free from strife and free from hate, when you accept your role. ------ You cannot save us from ourselves You cannot chain our lives to someone else You cannot bend the will of the free (You will not break us) You will not rule us with your zealotry, your ecology, your theology, oh no ------ Do not think for yourself, you say, because the words are clearly written How you are to live each day is carved in stone And I will be the arbiter, the interpreter, of the sacred will For in my hand I wield the blessed holy sword I don't care what your god tells you. I don't care how you think the world should be. I don't care if my words offend you. And I'll be damned if I'm enslaved to some utopian dream.

All music and lyrics by Victor Snow Walk on back right through those hazy memories and lies Talk it back, but maybe frame it in a different light Hold it back and only speak of what I need to know Fold it back and tell me what I see, it isn't so Shatter the world and tell me how I caused the broken glass, It's all my fault, this shame I've brought, tell me what to do Oh please absolve yourself of any thought of castigation No reprobation, no condemnation How could I doubt your truth? Maybe I'm not as smart, as I once thought I was But something does not add up in all your jumbled words 4,2,3,1 what? Maybe a little slower for the dumb and blind Maybe have some compassion for the lesser kind I've got your glasses on Quite a nice shade of rose It's all in front of me A sight to behold. But it seems I cannot walk In a straight line Since I put reality out of my mind
