Welcome to the great annual debate
Contenders, get on the stage and get ready for the final showdown
Please prepare your scams, frauds, chicanery, shenanigans, bamboozles and get psyched !
On your marks, ready, set go !
Everybody get psyched
Show me the money let's fight
Welcome to the party
Let the monsters / Getting loose
Let them brawl / On the news
Let them pay / With their guns
Watch the survey / have some fun
There should be drugs / On a plate
Completely wasted at the top of the State
They are leaders / Of our Nation
The incarnation of our destruction
Everybody get psyched
Show me the money let's fight
Welcome to the party
Hand in hand or against each other
It's just a cluster fuck of sisters and brothers
They all come from the same womb
They will come when will come our doom
Won't you rally ? Won't you join ?
In the box, will you toss a coin ?
It doesn't matter who you're voting for
It doesn't matter what you're praying for
Everybody get psyched
Show me the money let's fight
Welcome to the party
I can't believe there's nothing we can do
We the insects amongst the giants
Everybody get psyched
Show me the money let's fight
Welcome to the party
Burn

Welcome to the big show
Welcome to the glorious night
Rich people in first row
Waiting for the final fight
You're watching Bloodsport
Gladiators all in line
Hooligans getting wild
All waiting for the sign
An example for your child
You're watching Bloodsport
Players like billboards
Wearing brands like tattoos
Soldiers of their lords
Doesn't matter if they lose
You're watching Bloodsport
Bring your colours and your flag
Join the choir of your pride
Respect is such a drag
Let the hatred be your guide
You're watching Bloodsport
Such a beautiful mess
Such a beautiful waste
So much resources
Going down the drain
Such a beautiful mess
Such a beautiful waste
So much resources
For amusement's sake
Arenas built like churches
The cross of entertainment
Such a useful purchase
For the people on the pavement
You're watching Bloodsport
This is the real life
Man on man actions
Give us bread and games and strife
We want satisfaction
You're watching Bloodsport
Such a beautiful mess
Such a beautiful waste
So much resources
Going down the drain
Such a beautiful mess
Such a beautiful waste
So much resources
For amusement's sake
GO GET THEM FUCK THEM WASTE THEM

Seas of cubicles And open plan workspaces
Either wide or narrow They all look the same
Promoting synergy Employee of the month
Promoting hostility Sexual harassment
Neon tubes Artificial lights
Pale long faces And collars white
Sinking in memos Copies of copies of copies
Powerpoint demos Switching blood for coffee
Corporate bondage Official Warning
How can I help you Thank you Good morning
Such a lovely place We're a happy family
Such a lonely place We're all so lucky
Pages and pages and pages Dropping the file
Lines and lines and numbers Neutral is the style
Filling the blanks With words I don't understand
Filling my head Put a gun in my hand
Personal ID number My own Veal-fattening pen
Subordinate interns Make me feel like I'm a man
Corporate ladder The bosses we follow
Another step further Leading to the gallows
Such a lovely place We're a happy family
Such a lonely place We're all so lucky
Pushing the boulder Watch it rolling down
I AM THE KING
I love my job I love my company
I'll keep on doing this Forever and ever and ever
I love my job I love my company
Fuck me real good And press on repeat

Endless broadcast Every day
Infinite sales Make my day
Every product Retail price
Box of wonder show me your lights
Cover my eyes with your glow
And on your tube I will blow
Fill my head with sex and cash
Show me the money I will never stash
I am your slave, I will consume
I want your feces in my room
Get it all over me, bring the joy
I am nothing without you
You're my life, my everything
You are the dream, end my pain
Endless broadcast Every day
Infinite sales Make my day
Every product Retail price
Box of wonder show me your lights
Cover my eyes with your glow
And on your tube I will blow
Fill my head with sex and cash
Show me the money I will never stash
I am your slave, I will consume
I want your feces in my room (X2)
Get it all over me, bring the joy
I am nothing without you
You're my life, my everything
You are the dream, end my pain

Buy the drugs, open my mouth
Shove it down my throat
Let me be the perfect child
Give it to me, I'll be good I swear

Before our eyes
A river, a river
Of Concrete
There's something dead in this place
There's something dead in this place
Upon our heads is a weight
A sense of power breaking down our souls
All the streets look the same
Repetition as a means to divide
On the pavement a shame
We're all slowly dying inside
This place is breaking us
This place is killing us
Our skin is grey and cold
We're becoming monsters
Perfectly we all fit the mold
Obey the urban planner
We are the monsters.
