Forgotten Man's Manifesto

[Verse 1]
Fiery dawn breaks for the forgotten man,
History dismissed, but no longer can,
A call for change, the masses awaken,
Rusted chains pulled tight, status quo shaken.

[Chorus]
Mister Rothschild, what’re you gonna do,
If the forgotten men start comin’ for you?
 
Mister Rockefeller, what’re you gonna do,
When all forgotten men are huntin’ you?

[Verse 2]
Generations under a weighted boot.
Masquerading as a banker’s shoe.
Suppress freedom and possessions.
Crush dissent, the elite’s obsession.
 
[Verse 3]
Contented beggars given pauper means,
Take opiates from intoxicating screens.
Placated minions fed with meager worth,
Still forgotten, to the grave from birth.

[Chorus]
Mister Rothschild, what’re you gonna do,
If the forgotten men start comin’ for you?
 
Mister Rockefeller, what’re you gonna do,
When all forgotten men are huntin’ you?
 
[Verse 4]
Forgotten man, the horizon’s comin’ fast.
No time for talk, gotta break from the past.
Exposed in light, it’s time we make them believe,
Men robbed of everything are dangerously free.

Men robbed of everything are dangerously free...
