Road to Supremacy

There is an elite
Fueled by deprivation, humiliation of an underclass
In all society, democratic or otherwise
Natural grouping within its structure

Two, three, or more gathered
There you’ll find
Supremacy

Give us what we can’t get on our own
Give us entertainment to keep us calm
Give us reassurance that we’re sane
Give us the focus to pin the blame

Give us independence in our world
Give us ambition that must be earned
Kept in the moment
Kept in the moment now

Give us debate that can’t be heard
Kept in the moment
Kept in the moment now

Could change in a moment
Could spin out of range
All those changes kept in line

[Instrumental break]

To change what we can’t agree on
To change while we can’t agree
To change what we can
To change while we can

To change, there are lots of changes
To change while it goes through phases
To change going to like what we’re changing
Just wait, you’ll love what we’re making
To change going to like how we’re changing

Cape Town’s tearful emotional
Insane, not that innocent
Sydney’s walkabout nation
Kept in the moment
Kept in the moment now

Hong Kong center of finance
Moscow seems so social
Kind of people who want you
Kept in the moment
Kept in the moment now

London becomes vocal
Presides over everything
New York leading distortion
Kept in the moment
Kept in the moment now

Havana can become fearsome
Not because of those who enter
Signs all leading to Rio
Kept in the moment
Kept in the moment now

We are rudimentary all the same
Our societies build and discard
Like pistons we’re going nowhere
Always traveling with the belief
That we’re making progress

Our energy expelled and passed on
As we venture along this never ending road of conquest
In small groups to mighty empires we assemble our own company
We rise to fulfill to see our true potential
And realize our worth as we conquer and own
And eventually our energy subsides
Our only real value is expelled through this journey of self-belief
