Sons of Parthenope - Brave New World Lyrics

Fields of plenty turned to dust
Golden grain now caked with rust
Breadlines stretch for miles and miles
While fat cats feast on our trials

They promise manna from the sky
But serve us scraps and wonder why
We're not content with their design
To keep us starved and fall in line

Welcome to the Brave New World
Welcome to the Brave New World
Where freedom's just a bitter word
They stripped us bare and called it fair
Welcome to the Brave New World
Now we're all equal in despair

No deed, no title, nothing's yours
Just rented life behind locked doors
They say we're free from ownership's weight
But we're just shackled to their gate

They sold us peace, delivered war
Stripped us clean, then asked for more
Now we stand with empty hands
As they divide and rule our lands

Welcome to the Brave New World
Welcome to the Brave New World
Where freedom's just a bitter word
They stripped us bare and called it fair
Welcome to the Brave New World
Now we're all equal in despair

In this land of milk and honey
The hive mind buzzes, isn't it funny?
We're all drones in their grand scheme
Living the American Nightmare, not the Dream
They sold us dreams wrapped in gold
But left us out in the cold
Promised lands of unity
Turned out to be captivity
In this Brave New World, we crawl
As they rise, we fall
Echoes of the lies they've told
We're the stories left untold

Welcome to the Brave New World
Welcome to the Brave New World
Where freedom's just a bitter word
They stripped us bare and called it fair
Welcome to the Brave New World
Now we're all equal in despair

In this place, no paradise
We're all equal, equally mice
In their grand experiment
Our lives are spent, our souls are rent
Welcome to the Brave New World
