Purgatory
Dance or Die Lyrics

Look back in anger
Reflect on past injustices with intense feelings of anger and frustration

Pay for your death
Account for and face the consequences of your actions and decisions in life, particularly those that ultimately lead to your demise

Religion is money
Many religious institutions and practices are motivated by financial gain and control, rather than spiritual enlightenment or moral guidance

Control takes your breath
Being under constant surveillance, manipulation, and restriction can suffocate and stifle one's individuality and personal growth

The man in the middle
The figure or group in a position of power or influence between opposing sides or interests, often looking out for their own interests instead of those they represent or govern

You got to ignore
Avoid letting the man in the middle dictate your beliefs, actions, or values, and instead rely on your own judgment and conscience

Be something better
Strive towards self-improvement and progress, whether it be moral, intellectual, or creative

Be something more
Challenge yourself to expand beyond your comfort zone and reach your full potential as an individual and member of society

The ball of confusion
The complex, confusing, and often contradictory nature of contemporary life and culture, particularly with regards to socio-political and economic issues

Will be sold out
The ball of confusion is packaged, marketed, and sold to the masses, often perpetuating rather than solving issues

Too much pollution
The overwhelming and detrimental impact of human activity and progress on the environment and natural resources

Another burnout
An individual or society reaching a point of exhaustion, apathy, or collapse from trying to keep up with unrealistic or unsustainable expectations or lifestyles

Mix up the cultures
The blending and blurring of different cultural identities, practices, and values together in a way that can both enrich and dilute them

Call it a game
Society often treats cultural diversity and identity as a superficial and interchangeable form of entertainment or spectacle, rather than as something to respect and preserve

Believe in their money
Many people and institutions prioritize money and material wealth above all else, leading to corruption, greed, and exploitation

That is the aim
The pursuit of money and profit underlies many actions, decisions, and policies of those in power or control

Everyone is equal
All individuals are fundamentally equal in worth, dignity, and rights, regardless of their background, identity, or circumstances

Everyone is the same
All individuals share common humanity and struggles, and should be treated with empathy and respect despite their differences

Consumption is reason
The desire for material goods and instant gratification often drives and justifies the actions and priorities of individuals and society

Property the name
The ownership and control of property and resources is considered a defining aspect of success, power, and status, regardless of societal or environmental impact

From the high above
Those in power or authority, often disconnected from the realities and struggles of those they govern or lead

To the underneath
The marginalized, oppressed, and undervalued members of society, often hidden or ignored by those in power

We are here to stay
All individuals and communities have a right to exist, participate, and contribute to society regardless of their background or circumstances

We come to make a day
People seek to make a positive impact and change in their lives and communities, striving towards a better future

That`s the will of god
A belief in a higher power or purpose that guides and inspires individuals to pursue goodness and justice

That will be their lot
Those who prioritize materialism and selfish gain will eventually face negative consequences or judgement

The Purgatory waits
A metaphorical state of temporary punishment or purification, often associated with religious or moral beliefs

For them to burn in hell
Those who act against moral or ethical values will face consequences or judgement in the afterlife or in society

Give us a new drug
Individuals often seek escapes or solutions to their problems and struggles through technology, entertainment, or other forms of consumption

To play in this life
People seek immediate pleasure, distraction, or gratification in the present, rather than finding long-term and meaningful solutions

Wait for the future
Individuals and society often prioritize future rewards or goals over present needs or issues

In trouble and strife
Life is full of difficulties, challenges, and conflicts, and individuals must navigate them in order to find stability, satisfaction, or success

Give us a safe place
Individuals seek comfort, security, and protection from the dangers and uncertainties of the world

We got to relax
In order to cope with stress, pressure, or anxiety, individuals need to find ways to unwind and recharge

Filled up with ego
Individuals and societies are prone to excessive pride, self-interest, or self-importance, often leading to negative consequences and conflicts

We pay for our sex
Sexuality and pleasure are often commodified and objectified, leading to exploitation, inequality, and harm

Don`t let them in their life
Individuals should not allow those in power or authority to dictate or control their lives, beliefs, or values

Don`t let rule your land
Individuals and society should not allow greed, corruption, or selfishness to dominate and distort their collective values and goals

The Purgatory waits
A state of punishment or purification awaits those who ignore moral or ethical values and prioritize their own gain

For them to burn in hell
Those who act in opposition to justice and goodness will ultimately face negative consequences or judgement in some form.
