Ring 3 - Luxury

We can pick, we can choose

We can make moves no matter what they lose

We could be right, we could be wrong

We can make mistakes (our reign is long)

‘Cause gentlemen, I believe everything happens for reasons

Just look at the seasons!

And here, we’ve been divined

Roots are drenched in time-honored traditions which we all can malign

(We havе the rights!)

A man was dying, a child was born

(Take him for evеrything, take him for everything)

Yes, following form

We will pick his carcass clean

But first, there is one thing on which we must agree

(Official decree)

On the one hand, we can starve the child

On the other hand, we can let the elder die

How to keep the flow of food to hungry mouths?

On second thought, fuck 'em, they’ll figure it out

You can't lose your damn mind

Here in the hall of the guide

Win or lose, it’s alright

You're in the hall of the guide

They talk of famine (no!), they talk of drought (no!)

They should be happy that anyone’s hearing them out

Look at them whimper, look at them wheeze

Alienating the ones they are meant to appease

But their gratitudes all but default into platitudes

And they still suspect we’ll give them more

They leave a-swarming then perish, wondering why?

Waste not your time, fuck ‘em, they’ll shut up and die!

You can't lose your damn mind

Here in the hall of the guide

Win or lose, it’s alright

You're in the hall of the guide

We can't lose our damn minds

Here at the hall of the guide

Win or lose, it’s alright

You're at the hall of the guide

We'll persist and endure, we’ll maintain the status quo

(Our power is pure)

They'll resist, but we’ll assure that nothing ever changes

(Still, we cast the lure)

Sure, we’ll bring them in with a lie (welcome!)

We could always use another tithe

And time will pass, and time will pass, and time will pass

Waking in bliss might sound passé

When you’re living in a paradise

The kind of place where you never have to work a day

Passing the time with what you crave

‘Cause you know anything you need can be provided when you want it

We want a lot, so they’ve gotta give

What could you fear for with walls as high as these?

If you can’t see beyond your windows

It’s hard to find the room to care for... Oh, anything

But we want it all

And if they’ve got something to give

They’re gonna give it all, if they still got the will to live

There always will be a cream of the crop

(And we’re never getting off the top)

A pick of the litter (you know we’ve got to be)

The chosen righteous few who’ve come prepared with what they’ve inherited

What have you? (what have you?) (what have you?)

What have you? (what have you?) (what have you?)

They’ve saved their whole lives so they can, someday

Live a little like we do for one day

But if you get to see just how sweet life could be

Ohm it’ll be hard for them to find the room to care for anything on returning

And if there’s something left to give

They gotta give it all, if they still got the will to live

There always will be a cream of the crop

(And we’re never getting off the top)

A pick of the litter (you know we’ve got to be)

The chosen righteous few who’ve come prepared with what they’ve inherited

But what have you?

Nothing

We can't see beyond our windows

But we deal in everything

Pay no mind which way the wind blows

‘Cause we can weather anything

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

(Left, right, slide to the back!)

(Hop to the right, now kick and clap!) yeah!

(Hands to the sky and a shake of the knees)

(Praise in his number xcv!)

(Left, right, slide to the back!) yeah!

(Hop to the right, now kick and clap!)

(Hands to the sky and a shake of the knees) yeah!

(Praise in his number xcv!) yeah!
