Lyrics

Bankrupt

Bankrupt
Bankrupt
Bankrupt
Blow it up!

Blow it up!

Hail to the king of vanity
Praise to the Lord of hostility
Hallelujah, bless the bottom line
New day, same con works every time

Take it all 'til there's nothing left
Never believed a word that you said
Destroyer, you are become death
Sell out, cash in, but you'll always be
(Bankrupt)

I'm waiting for an answer
Life is a disaster, we're going through
Time keeps on moving backwards
The world is a cancer coming for you

Hail to the king, well, who's the fucking king?
I won't be bowing to power, I'll never kiss the ring
Fake fortunes on the backs of the unfortunate
Stock options only offset the loneliness

Money talks but time's going deaf
Can't buy back the life that you spent
Destroyer, you are become death
Sell out, cash in, but you'll always be...

I'm waiting for an answer
Life is a disaster, we're going through
Time keeps on moving backwards
The world is a cancer coming for you

(Can I get a little more? All right)
Everybody's got a knife to their neck
If they're coming for them, they're gonna come for you next
(Nobody) nobody's life is worth as much as the check
They're gonna sign it in blood with the tip (of the bayonet)

Mm, fuck!

Burn it up
The deck is stacked
The game is rigged
The only rope they give
Chokes us when they pull the strings!

I'm waiting for an answer
Life is a disaster, we're going through
(Take it all 'til there's nothing left)
Time keeps on moving backwards
The world is a cancer coming for you

(Everybody's got a knife to their neck)
(Everybody, everyone)
