Under Corporate Skies Lyrics

Waves crash hard on the old wooden deck

Big men in suits cashing my checks

On the sea I'm free but they pull the net

Corporate hands on my sweat they bet

Fishing lines tangle hearts weighed down

Dollar signs drown where dreams abound

License to steal what we toil to find

Chains of gold tie us to the grind

Catching shadows from their cold blue eyes

Living on hope while the ocean dies

Caught in the current of their greedy lies

Under corporate skies

Once this sea was endless blue

Now the boardroom's taken what I knew

Empty waters echo empty hope

Struggling fishers on a sinking rope

Promises broken like waves on the shore

Greedy guts asking for more and more

This life won't let us be free

Locked in struggle with the corporate sea

My hands are rough and my back is strong

But their deeds are dirty and their words are long

We sail

We sweat

But in their game we're caught

Our livelihood disappears bought and sold for naught
