This version was recorded during the FAITHKILLER sessions with Brett Romnes and was to be an iTunes exclusive with the release of the album, but that never materialized. We initially recorded a version of this at Converse Rubber Tracks studio with Will Putney for a MetalSucks.net compilation. This song is about the evils of big pharma and the impact it has on not just our day to day lives but the influence it has in the government and the very fabric of modern America.
lyrics
The market is booming at our expense
billions of dollars of revenue acquired under false pretense
masses exploited, not alive not dead
increased diagnosis, as we're dissected
millions are convinced that they are all suffering or infected
Bought and paid, FDA's hidden hypocrisy
evil beasts, reach the streets and call it industry
tragedies dismissed, sealed with a death kiss
Borders were closed and the business blew up
now under legal conditions we sleepwalk through life legally fucked up
american cartels condemning us to hell with no repercussions
hands out for prescribed pills, a voluntary jail, societal phenomenon
propagated option of an easy way out
a medicated half smile ignoring the doubt
modern lobotomy marketed on lies
the worlds population lives with closed eyes
Diagnosis increased, Cloaks the deceit
american cartels condemning us to hell with no repercussions
pharmaceuticals run the world behind the cloak of corporations
