[Verse 1]
Em
Walking through the badlands taking in the scenery
Am B
The beasts are salivating to the fresh scent of the weak
Em
They're moving in with a penetrating grin
Am
Sliding through your backdoor
B
While your babies are asleep
[Pre-Chorus]
G B
We're walking blind with wool over our eyes
G B
Now if we don't think about it will it go away
[Chorus]
Em Am B
Taking what they want (hey!) not what they need
Em Am B
Hang us out to dry so the wolves can feed
Em Am B
See it in their eyes (hey!) filled up with greed
Am B
All stuck sucking on the end of this pyramid scheme
[Verse 2]
Em
Running through this nightmare but I'm wide awake
Am
I hear the footsteps in the dark
B
And it's more than I can take
Em
They're rising up from the depths to fill their cup
Am B
Never to the top because it never is enough
G B
They want it all no matter what the cost is
G B
If we don't think about it will it go away
[Chorus]
Em Am B
Taking what they want (hey!) not what they need
Em Am B
Hang us out to dry so the wolves can feed
Em Am B
See it in their eyes (hey!) filled up with greed
Am B
All stuck sucking on the end of this pyramid scheme
