3TEETH
"Affluenza"
(Alexis Mincolla)

Starving minds get left behind
No one cares unless you're buying
White collar button up dripping with slime
The all-consuming parasite of our time

Brain wasting dollars as the virus infects
Fueled off the likes of a faux protest
Clickbait justice and infinite jest
Chained to the grind as the rich molest

[Chorus:]
Affluenza, pure manifest
Welcome to the orgy of corporate incest
Sucking and fucking for its own interest
Rotting in the west

Spreading greed like basic need
Tethered to machines that help us breathe
Accelerate the cycle as we ramp the speed
You'll never fucking stop this Trojan steed
Ingested and infested just like the rest
Consuming everything when you feel depressed
Shameless bullshit and with no regrets
Gonna watch it burn as I disconnect

[Chorus:]
Affluenza, pure manifest
Welcome to the orgy of corporate incest
Sucking and fucking for its own interest
Rotting in the west

[Bridge:]
I'll sharpen my knife upon the stone
Made from the ruin of a dead god's throne
Listen to these words as my seeds are sown
It's time to amputate the infected zone
I'm cutting away. cutting away
I'm cutting away, cutting away
I'm cutting away
I'm cutting it the fuck away

[Chorus:]
Affluenza, pure manifest
Welcome to the orgy of corporate incest
Sucking and fucking for its own interest
Rotting in the west

[Outro:]
Rotting in the west
Rotting in the west
