Empires built upon the simple-minded

The more deserving have nothing to show

Those bankrupt in value assimilate the masses

Leaving the unknown unable to grow

What keeps them high?

Let someone else try...

Some may push past the top

Or they may die on the vine

Loudspeakers keep the loudest loudest

But the quiet will stay last in line

What keeps them high?

Let someone else try...

Many would give the better a chance if only they knew

Others choose to stay safe, they are more deserving too

And so are you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you and you!
