Pyramids by Le Tits Now

(each chorus features a shortening of the melody)

demerits from the meritocracy
the smallest cog in this machine
as they climb higher up the hierarchy of greed
at the bottom we're just squinting at the peak
it's not a monument it's a monstrosity
forever toiling in the desert heat
a loss participant in the pyramid scheme
still we're kneeling at the pharaoh's feet

can't you see
we're all just grist to the millionaires grift
all interred in servitude inside their pyramids
yeah they build a tomb and seal us in

blocks upon blocks
I work for someone else
a CEO without a face
there's others like me
waiting on a shelf
if I step out of line I'll be replaced
disconnected
society
I don't see you
you don't see me

can't you see
we're all just grist to the millionaires grift
all interred in servitude inside their pyramids
yeah they build a tomb and seal us in

working long shifts, got to ward off Osiris
I'm never thinking of myself, because there's no I in papyrus
but then everything blurs, and I'm losing the specifics
and I'm dreaming of unsolicited hieroglyphics
column after column, pharaoh after pharaoh
feeling ready for the sarcophagus
I can almost see the field of reeds grow
(take 'em to the Horus)

can't you see
we're all just grist to the millionaires grift
all interred in servitude inside their pyramids
yeah they build a tomb and seal us in
