The Natural Equality of Human Beings

from Deep Pull (2012) by Gentle Will and the Settlers

lyrics

All the ghost will hide until the fear settles down before they return. I won't tell a soul. I'm occupied with thinking of a third belief to live by, to die by. You can take me to the grave and throw me on trial, I swear I didn't say a thing.

I've been kicked to the streets. These past five years have been a real treat. To think I was once apart of the upper middle class, taking advantage of those lower than us on the pyramid scheme, that we try to barrage with our self esteem. It's something to live by, and I can't say a thing.

When I've made my mark, I promise I won't forget those nights we spent within our jurisdiction. When I'm back on top, I'll re-think the way I hold myself around those who once helped me. And they'll see me, but damned if I'll give a thing, 'cause I know that they can't say a thing.
