lyrics

Tiger:
We fell for your trap, we're fighting for scraps and the war in Iraq was just another attack,
For global oil spoils fuelling loyal royals from others toils till the pot overboils.
They eat the poor, they're hungry for more.
What are they fighting for? There's no reason for war,
Still you ignore, basic human rights and your own damn law. Yeah.
Aim down your sight, fight with all your might.
Consider the 1% aren't in the right.
Wrath, Greed, Pride, Gluttony and Envy,
Is there not yet a sin you aren't guilty?
If we continue to be crossed as you raise the cost,
Soon you'll find your paradise will be lost.

M-O-NEY, M-O-NEY, M-O-NEY, M-O-NEY!

A future for some but not all. Profit too small, ready for a class brawl.
Roll the dice! Pay the right price!
Welcome to paradise.

There are always gonna people richer than others,
But is that reason enough to sell out our brothers?
You're playing a God, that doesn't even care,
About the death of others or human welfare.
But to your disgust, your money's built on trust,
So you'll have to adjust, when your money turns to dust,
You won't think it's so funny, when we have all the money,
And you live in agony and witness all the poverty,
I'll look you in the eye when you're by the curbside,
And I'll decide you're not worth a second of my time,
Hypocrisy I can't abide, but you can't hide the capitalist inside,
So I spit in your face and give you change as I watch capitalism die.

M-O-NEY, M-O-NEY, M-O-NEY, M-O-NEY!

A future for some but not all. Profit too small, ready for a class brawl.
Roll the dice! Pay the right price!
Welcome to paradise.

James #2:
There's a toll on everything we need from day to day.
If you want to feed your family then you'll have to pay.
If you don't shell out for shelter you'll be on your way
To finding a deity up in the sky to which you'll learn to pray.

'Cause money brings you paradise, yeah it can bring you mirth.
But most of the millionaires were rolling in it from birth.
Now it's holding ransom on damn near everything on this earth.
So how long is it gonna be until we're finding out what a life's worth?

They could put a price on every part and parcel in our lives,
Charge us for the air until we're oxygen deprived.
Charge us for having the gall to want to stay alive,
Until we're selling our souls in a final bid to survive.

So you can swim in all your riches until you finally drown,
But someday your empire's time to fall will come around.
Our cheers at your downfall will indefinitely resound,
And we'll surround the ground of your mound at the sound of your tower going down.

From their covers to their originals, you'll find the power-chords and speed endemic to old school punk, mixed with more melodic vocals and skilful playing present in modern punk. Of course, variety is the spice of life, and Goldstein aren't afraid to mix some ska, rap or Muse into their set to keep things interesting. ... more
