hover over (?)s for details. those are spots i couldnt make out the word entirely/indicate it was my best guess


[Verse]

When the money dries up
When the money dries up
When the fan turns brown

When the pyramid falls
When the pyramid falls
It never falls down

When the line stagnates
Cuts(?) only fate
Will we stay alive?

Will it trickle all down?
Will it save this town?
The answer won't surprise

[Refrain]

Blame the teachers
Blame the poor
Just blame nothing but the court
Keep your hands off the elite

Blame the blue hair and pronouns
Blame your jesters and your clowns
But the king stay above your feet

Blame the teachers
Blame the poor
Just blame nothing but the court
Keep your hands off the elite

Blame the blue hair and pronouns
Blame your jesters and your clowns
But the king stay above your feet

[Bridge]

Money soaked in blood
More investin', more funds
The economy's in love with you-ooh

But when the coastlines flood
When the coastlines flo-ood
Will the waves catch up with you-ooh?

We're tired of being under your boot heel
We're tired of being under your boot heel

[Refrain]

Blame the workers
Blame the homeless
But don't question why they notice(?)
Keep your hands off the elite

Blame those you think will go to hell
Blame the socialists as well
But don't question the police

[Outro]

I'll dare you to crush me
Everybody's hanging from your new boutique
