[Verse]
They stack their gold while we count dust
Promises break like a bridge of rust
The poor keep climbing but the top's too steep
The rich stay laughing while the weak just weep
[Chorus]
It's a pyramid scheme we’re all caught in
They rise so high while we can't begin
Flutes cry soft bagpipes wail their tune
Under their shadow we’re eclipsed by the moon
[Verse 2]
They sell us dreams we can't afford
While they feast on wealth we’ve been ignored
Their castles gleam our homes decay
The ladder’s broken but we climb anyway
[Chorus]
It's a pyramid scheme we’re all caught in
They rise so high while we can't begin
Flutes cry soft bagpipes wail their tune
Under their shadow we’re eclipsed by the moon
[Bridge]
The top gets thinner the bottom grows wide
They thrive on greed while we swallow our pride
The pipes keep playing a mournful sound
We’re all spinning wheels on this cursed ground
[Verse 3]
They write the rules and call it fate
We’re stuck in line while they close the gate
They drain the river till it runs dry
And tell us it’s rain falling from the sky
