I attack the financial institutions that increase their wealth at the expense of regular people. By doing so they hurt those who do not engage in such equally selfish endeavors. Having a finger in your eye makes you blind to truth. Once you remove that finger, you will see the world for what it is.
lyrics
You occupy yourself, behind your money hide.
I've seen it all before. Laid clear against the door.
There are no religious ties, alone religious lies.
You have bitten the hand that feeds you.
Convinced you are ordained to walk the earth on high.
With the limit only sky. You are completely hypnotized.
With a finger in your eye. Torment your body find extortion in your mind.
You rest with proper cause, limbs shackled to the wall.
Make the present last, lest you confuse it with the past.
And for the future trust the omen. The premonition is the warning.
Live with social cause and consort with an evil lot.
In the hopes of gaining sight, remove your finger from your eye.
