[Verse 1]
Everyone is staring with the glaze of obsession
Interlocking cartels bypassing the bone
The empty statement of art school dissension
Institutionalized expression of mass control

[Chorus 1]
And if when America fills in the hole
Your pile of misery where centuries be
And he does win a holiday after a poll
One percent interest stand up with glee

[Verse 2]
Soul contamination spreads the germs of finance
Making weak minds think this is what they want
Power facts are brutally sold to worn darkened skin
Arise the new scum, arise to the sound of a drum

[Chorus 2]
With your desk degrees in civil engineering
They're drawing up plans for a future for themselves
And sweet daddy buys up a university
On a mission tied next to suits

[Outro]
Soul contamination
Die because you crossed by fire
Soul contamination
Poverty expressed in your heart
Soul contamination
Arise, surrender, burn
Soul contamination
Do you rise up?
