Intro5pect - Profit Margins Lyrics
Presented like a product,placed in a black boxthe promise of salvation,is enough to make us watchthere is no thought,and there is no concernwe can't retrace our stepsacross the bridges that we burnbut were content to begetting what we're getting for freeso we lock our chainsand we throw away the keybut the free comes at a pricethat we'd rather not think aboutthe free comes at a pricewe'd rather not think about.well we don' think muchabout much these daysso the chance of that happeningquickly fades awayinto another haze of emotion,another blur of productfar from anypretenseand removed from any contextbut nothing really seemsto be in context anymorewe sold our integrityand now we are the whoreswith our blue plastic checking cardsand silicone implantsour pre-constructed worldthat has all us trapped[Chorus](and) All we are...is a tool to be used to payfor someone else's renta profit gain of 23%(and) All we are...Pieces of paper to be torn into shredsa small piece of capital to be worked until our deathsalvation in consumptionis an absurd way to liveproducts as religionis too much to giveso we fill our lives with useless itemsto make up for ourselvesand we fill our heads with excusesto justify our wealthbut the greed that fuels our consumptionseems to be acceptedand not just as a fault,but as a trait to be respectedhow we got to this pointis a question without answerwe can blame it on TV,but we set the standardall of this hypocricyjust leaves me more confusedexpecting something morewhen i should just be amuzedat the pettiness, the irony,the ignorance, and abusethe individual twines we braidinto one collective noosecause at the age of 24you can't expect me to acceptthat the standards of humanitycoul possibly be lessall we ever wantedwas to be something more than thisall we ever wantedwas to be something more than this![Chorus]
