Lyrics:
Pro-fit over people as our planet burns.
Cast doubt, deflect, delay every push for change
They tell us we’re powerless. It’s true so long as we remain afraid.
So long as we believe in the lies, our sons will not see their golden years.

We’ll be at fault.

Daughters with no hope of silver hair; Sons with nary a hope to breathe in the air.
This is worth the record profits for some years.
Shares will hold no value when you have no heirs. You don’t care.

Never will we see the light of day
so long as we slave for poverty.
Can’t we realize we hold the power?
They fear what we can join to become

If we are willing to allow such fiends to remain in control,
it could be said we’re deserving of our fate.

They say we have no power. It’s true until we change.
Let’s stand instead of cower. We need only break our chains.
People over profit.

Daughters with no hope of silver hair; Sons with nary a hope to breathe in the air.
This is worth the record profits for some years.
Shares will hold no value when you have no heirs. You should care.
Daughters with no hope of silver hair; Sons who’ll never hope to see their golden years.

You should care. People over profit.

They tell us we’re powerless. It’s true so long as we remain afraid.
So long as we believe in the lies, our sons will not see their golden years.

People over profit.
