Layer Cake Lyrics

[Intro]

Power corrupts
Absolute power corrupts absolutely

[Verse I]

You know the theory of the layer cake ...
To escalate the ladder you snake to alternate your fate
Both drug dealers and politicians undertake
Similar principles to be top shottas or heads of state

Its like a decease to health
When the only cure to please themselves
Is greed prestige and wealth

With a steady incline you see their morals decline
Negative thoughts are no longer a thing of the mind

Aristocrats and beurocarts
Plotting against the leaders that
Stopping them getting fat with the policies they enact

Assassinate attempt
Laws get bent
On their assent to power sinners don't repent

A drug dealer
Turn killer for more scrilla

In the inner city for a crack house
Or weed villa

The limit - innit

The power struggle's infinite
Some start and others finish it

[Hook]

You know how the wind blows
You can see it through your windows
There ain't always sunshine after the rain goes x2

You know how the wind blows
You can see it through your windows
There ain't always sunshine after the rain goes x2

[Verse II]

Look - listen - observe

Which master is it you serve ?

BP - Shell
Twitter - Dell
Macbook pro
Your favorite radio show
Do you know ?

Or do you just follow the blind
This world of logorama is constructed to keep you in line It's like march
Left right left
Turn
You're a machine with no built in program to learn

The crank shaft rotates the motor burns

Fuel at a level of waste that 'causes concerns

Consummation genoside like there is no tomorrow

Run out of money and head straight to the bank to borrow

Some more ! Cause it's never enough

You need more and more and more stuff

In a feeble attempt to fulfill your greed

All the while this fertile land continues to bleed

[Verse III]

Over six billion people on this earth ...
Over six billion people on this dirt ...
Over six billion people gon' get hurt when this system collapse
Maybe six billion people gon' clap

When the gridlines on this map don't mean nothing
The value of money diminishes - now thats something ...
We gonna return to hunting and gathering
Only the strong will survive though this abyss labyrinth

I can't wait ...
It's just a matter of time
The moment is coming
It's like the dawn and sunshine
You can't hide behind the clouds
The banks ...
The tanks ...
The needy hands of crowds ...

It ain't all love
Just wait and see
When everyone is considered equal in this economy
At a level playing field ...

Those at the top of the pyramid are gonna fall
Trust me ...
They gonna yield !!

[Bridge]

Power corrupts
Absolute power corrupts absolutely x4
