Symptoms in Democracy

from Exhumed Songs EP by Haldol

/

about

A critique on bourgeois, capitalist democracy.

lyrics

What I "freely" give is not so voluntary―
A revelation to the shortcomings of democracy.
Our democratic means have brought plutocratic ends
Under the weight of the capitalist, our freedom bends.

The fragile glass of democracy shatters at the hammers of self-interest,
Left to itself freedom is under duress.

Using seizure as a safeguard to defend revolution;
A spark has to birth a flame or meet annihilation.
Like a naive child's attraction to strangers,
No protection from predators brings danger.
Capitalist democracy means nothing to the worker―
Here, freedom has a price by those that live in comfort.

Capitalism suffers constant revolutions― to maintain balance,
Adjusting itself out of Death's gripping,
And as it lies, licking wounds it acquires,
Everyone around is bitten.
