lirik lagu ettrick shepherd – cash, class & race
[hook]
this world is perfect but there’s so much wrong with it
everybody accepts it and goes along with it
we need to unite and stand together
and turn this plane around it’s now or never
we all wanna improve the world but it’s still unchanged
2018, one foot in the grave
we don’t seek comp-ssion, money’s all we crave
demonstrating prejudice for cash, cl-ss and race
[verse 1]
the biggest issue with human kind
we’re under the delusion everything we do it fine
our excuse is that we do it for the dollar
spend our whole lives pursuin’ it then we lose our minds
we hold onto it when it’s easier to let go
but we move quick if dane melba says so
if you keep it goin’ ’til you’re dead though
‘rich’ is all you’re gonna have written on your headstone
be ruthless and cruel and get rewarded with success
look at jimmy iovine, trump and macbeth
they never cared about how many lives that they wrecked
cos you can’t put a price on a million dollar cheque

i find it quite absurd
that you can buy respect with nike shoes and a hilfiger shirt
it’s sad that society judges you on that
the clothes on your back or the digits on the tag
but wearin’ stripes on your kicks you’re fl!ckin’ the switch in people’s minds like “sh-t, he must be rich”
bought a forty grand rolex just to prove
and address the fact no one’s as wealthy as you
but i suppose that’s what the media is
brand’s are feedin’ you pics and deceivin’ the kids
that’s the elevator pitch for consumerism
it’s got as trapped in the matrix and movin’ with it

some people think we’ve ended up achievin’ equality
achieve inequality is what we’ve done, it bothers me
society chooses to ignore the inequality
of black people and for that i give my apology
we say they should get over it
but their ancestors were enslaved and we know this sh-t
hence, begins the cycle of a dysfunctional family
it’s true and issues continue and that’s reality
that’s how the stereotype originated
of indigenous people being uneducated
addicted to drugs as a form of escapism
then we generalise and that’s racism
an ethnic group with a hole in their back
there’s a goal but pauline hanson is holdin’ us back
she’s manifested a view we’re conditioned to believe
seeing being black as a stigma or disease
[eoin kennedy]
they’re two and a half times more likely that the average queenslander to be affected by depression and the questioning thing is that depression in the aboriginal society is a very recent thing
