Lyrics
Cold Hard Reality
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All you see is misery
Sick society
Poverty larceny inequality
Debauchery depravity inhumanity
No place for the weak
Virtuous and sick
Gracious and meek
Chorus:
If you want to live in peace
Just prepare for war!
Only the strong survive
It's a law you can't ignore
Vanity gluttony avidity
Atrocity ferocity no security
Stagnation degradation degeneration
This world's for the vicious
Vile and malicious
Those with power and riches
Chorus
Cold hard,cold hard reality
A test for your fragile sanity
No place for the weak
Virtuous and sick
Gracious and meek
Cold hard,cold hard reality
A test for your fragile sanity
This world for the vicious
Vile and malicious
Those with power and riches
Lead: Max
Frustration desperation dehumanization
Aggravation deterioration a great depression
Parricide infanticide mass suicide
Chorus
