lyrics

Sir Privilege
Never reached the shore
On London Bridge
Mister Greed met the ghost of Thomas More

All he’s got is useless maps
No thoroughfare
Bottomless pitfalls, random traps
Old class warfare

Dream vessel sails
Before seizure
In search of tales
From a sweet hereafter

All we’ve got is useless maps
No thoroughfare
Bottomless pitfalls, random traps
Old class warfare

May the horizon
Hold out the promise
Of some paragon
Like a new Atlantis

We’re just left with useless maps
No thoroughfare
Bottomless pitfalls, random traps
Toy explorers led astray
Avidity’s dismay
Yields only gaps
Like some dark scheme under wraps
