Standing at the base of the pyramid
But it's never gonna meet the eye
You're not supposed to know that it exists
When nothing's there, there's nothing to deny
If you leave your place in the foundation
See the castle made of sand
Watch it fall into the sea and wither away
A new dawn's here, are you feeling okay?

The suits, the law and the uniforms
Bringing greed, borders and patrols

Time is what you got
So do you know who is getting yours?
When they say it's cheap they're just hiding costs
Here comes the swine dressed in diamonds and pearls

The suits, the law and the uniforms
Bringing greed, borders and patrols
You know that life was meant for so much more than this
More than wages, profit and control
Oh, I don't want your job
No, I won't live your lie
No, I won't live your lie
So I won't kneel for you
No, I ain't gonna bow
No, I ain't gonna bow

I see ourselves and I don't understand
What it is that makes a man?
When I hear them say they love to own
I hear a sister with broken bones

If we can make it through their new deal
The world will come a-tumbling down
It's the suits, the law and the uniforms
Bring greed, borders and patrols
You know that life was meant for so much more than this
More than wages, profit and control
Oh, I don't want your job
No, I won't live your lie
No, I won't live your lie
I won't kneel for you
No, I ain't gonna bow
No, I ain't gonna bow

It's the suits, the law and the uniforms
Bring greed, borders and patrols
You know that life was meant for so much more than this
More than wages, profit and control

It's the suits, the law and the uniforms
Bring greed, borders and patrols
You know that life was meant for so much more than this
More than wages, profit and control

No, I won't live your lie
No, I ain't, I ain't gonna bow
