Why would you step down the tower when you’re the one holding all the power?
When you’re the one with the guns and the money by the tons in control of the whole empire?
De-escalate from your position of authority maybe talk to me like a human being
and then you would see exactly what is happening
I mean I can see just what you’re doing

The arrogance of power is funny
The people with the money control all the news that you see on your iPhones and your smart phones and your cell phones and your TVs
Impending shit is happening and we’re talking ‘bout Kardashians
But you don’t really want to stand up
You don’t really want to get in the fray
Just go live your life no pain no strife ‘cause Michael and Kelly told you it was jelly

Gonna get you in the final hour, talkin’ bout the arrogance of power
Hope that you all know just what I’m sayin’ oh if you do please nod your head

Why would you step down the tower?
You’re the one holding all the power.
You’re the one with the guns and the money by the tons in control of the whole empire.
De-escalate from your position of authority.
Talk to me like a human being.
You should see exactly what is happening.
We all can see just what you’re doing

The arrogance of power is money
If you follow all the money and connect the dots then you’ll see what the anchorman won’t tell you on the nightly news on TV
The media is babblin’ yeah it’s bafflin’ and it’s saddening
But you don’t really want to stand up anyway.
You don’t really wanna get in the fray
Go have ten kids, take selfies, get rich.
Just don’t cry to me when you’re down on your knees.

Gonna get you in the final hour, talkin’ bout the arrogance of power
Know that you all know just what I’m sayin’ oh if you do better nod your head
