Motivation behind the song:
This song was born from my internal rage of being forced to live in a system that doesn't value me other than as someone to feed itself, without it having any concern for my, and others', well-being. A system that forces most people to give up their passions and dreams to work at a job they only do because they need money in which to house and feed themselves.

The planet has been on fire since the 90s and gets worse every year; the waters of the world are contaminated by oil companies and military; bottles of water are hoarded in government facilities while communities are forced to boil water in order to be able to have safe water to drink; homes owned by the wealthy sit vacant while just down the road (and sometimes right outside their gated communities) people sleep in tents; food is thrown away because it's made in excess while people go hungry; all the while we are told we can't afford free healthcare, food and housing for all, and that we are too idealistic for imagining a better way of living as a society.

We've watched them laugh at us, call us lazy, tell us to just work harder, and when a virus began taking out a chunk of our society, they told us to suck it up and go back to work; told us to sacrifice each other for the sake of the economy. An economy that only serves the few and demands the majority of its citizens care more about money than themselves.

Capitalism is a failure and this song is my rage.

lyrics

What do they have that we don't have?
A few billion dollars and a plane of cash
But what we're lacking we'll make up in rhyme while the future catalyzes in a bubble of time

Bubble of Time
Bubble of Time
While the future catalyzes in a bubble of time

And they laugh at us if we're poor
Like it isn't their pleasure; keep us down on the floor
they tell us, "work until you're dead; 'til your body can't move and your mind is red

Drain the passion from our bodies;
Fed our brains to the system;
But we are not our body
and you don't have the wisdom
You don't have the wisdom

Well, you can't spend money when you're on fire
when you suffocate on the metal Earth
Can't drink it down when your mouth is dry
It won't give you air when you start to fry
Because the Sun it burns more than you knew
from your office tower, where the A/C blew
Where you looked down on the little people and thought
that you were better than them
than the whole damn lot

But where we're lacking we'll make up in rhyme
While the future catalyzes in a bubble of time

Bubble of time
Bubble of time
While the future catalyzes in a bubble of time

Drain the passion from our bodies
Fed our brains to the system
But we are not our body
And you don't have the wisdom

You don't have the wisdom,
no

Well you can't spend money when you're on fire,
all the cash in your pockets only fuels the flames
No you can't spend money when you're on fire
all the profits in the world won't keep you safe
can't spend money when you're on fire
all your time spent at work will feel like a waste
Can't spend money when you're on fire
burnt out
you'll die

Drain the passion from our bodies
Fed our brains to the system
But we are not our body
And you don't have the wisdom
