Vulture

[Verse 1]

Fly me in the air, way up above the desert plains

Just make sure you refrain from the sexual stain

You're going to make on the deal, the loyal lover

Battered in the streets, re-join the game undercover

It's a bid, not a bribe

Don't fold, and we'll get it this time

Build the empire on the backbone of the grassroot leeches

And despair as they demand more than their contract reaches

 

[Chorus]

You promised me a dollar, yet I'm living on a dime

But at least the scorching heat will all be over in time

For my December blues, mendacious maroon hues

Come and bathe under the sun until the heatstroke burns us through

So deliver me the amazing

Ignore the deceased

And we will work to bridge the gap between the West and the East

To show our true appreciation of the foreign culture

In the Kevin Carter canvas as we strike like the vulture

 

[Verse 2]

Blazers, glaze her in sweatshop shades

Warners amongst the population crying out in the haze

In a frenzy, in a dance, in a spur of romance

For the chance to bag a ticket in your nation's advance

Well slap my sweaty fivehead, drink in my hand

Serenades me with the rarity of liquid in sand

Attraction of a trip across the sea

Helps one forget about fatigued employees

 

[Chorus]

You promised me a dollar, yet I'm living on a dime

But at least the scorching heat will all be over in time

For my December blues, mendacious maroon hues

Come and bathe under the sun until the heatstroke burns us through

So deliver me the amazing

Ignore the deceased

And so we work to bridge the gap between the West and the East

To show our true appreciation of the foreign culture

In the Kevin Carter canvas as we strike like the vulture

 

[Bridge]

Give it to me quickly

Give it to me fair

Just give it to me simply so I don't have to care

Ironic how hypocritical German hands

And Qatari atrocities fade in behind Iran's

 

[Chorus]

So, promise me a dollar and then bless me with your dime

Underneath the scorching heat which won't be over in time

For my December blues, mendacious maroon hues

Come and bathe under the sun until the heatstroke burns us through

So deliver me the amazing

Ignore the deceased

And we will try to bridge the gap between the West and the East

To show our true appreciation of elitist culture

And quash the ones beneath to soar above like the vulture.
