The Hunter
Slaves Lyrics

The people are freezing
The population is suffering from the cold conditions.

And the water is warm
Despite the cold weather, the water is still warm.

And the ice caps are melting
Global warming is causing the melting of the ice caps.

What will happen when they're gone
The disappearance of ice caps will have devastating consequences.

Will the experts look stupid
Experts who ignored the impact of global warming on ice caps will seem foolish.

And invert the facts
They might even twist the truth to avoid the embarrassment of being wrong.

Will they give you back your donations
Those who financed or supported these experts/businesses might demand a refund.

Or keep the paper stacks
Alternatively, those who received the donations might keep the money without regard to the consequences of their actions.

The feeling is mutual
Both parties dislike each other.

You don't like what we do
The experts despise the songwriters' opinions.

Because we say what we are thinking
The songwriters express their thoughts openly and honestly.

And that shocks and frightens you
The experts are alarmed by the provocative nature of the songwriters' words.

The lion in the jungle shows no shame, it shows no pride
Lions in the wild are indifferent to societal values and act based on instinct.

It does what it needs to to stay strong and to survive, yeah
Lions prioritize their existence, and everything else comes second.

You can keep it
The songwriter does not want what the other person is offering.

Don't want it
They firmly state their lack of interest.

Keep smiling through your teeth
The other person is pretending to be nice despite their ulterior motives.

Oh what is it
The songwriter is curious about what the other person is trying to do.

Your justice cut the hands of the thief
The legal system punished a person severely for their misdeeds.

He was starving
The thief stole because he was hungry.

His children were crying to be fed
The thief had dependants who were suffering from starvation.

And now they're bawling
Now the dependants are wailing with grief and sadness.

And dying
His children might even die because of starvation.

But at least you are ahead
Despite causing severe harm to the thief and his family, you got what you wanted.

Just be patient
The songwriter advices patience.

Keep waiting
Wait for the right opportunity.

That's what they always say
Patience has been the advice given multiple times.

But you're tired and you're aching
The songwriter is exhausted and in pain.

And the pain won't go away
The discomfort is ongoing and persistent.

So stand up and speak out
Take a stand and be vocal about your needs.

See that your needs are met
Ensure you get what you are asking for.

Oh the odds are against you
The chances of success might be low.

But please place your bet yeah
However, remain optimistic and still take action.

It's useless
The songwriter believes something is worthless.

And worthless
The same thing has no value.

We're staring at the sun
The group is doing something that might be considered foolish.

Oh it is reckless
The act is dangerous and might result in harm.

And pointless
The act of staring at the sun has no merit.

But it's also very fun
Despite being useless and dangerous, the group still derives pleasure from the activity.

You keep it
The songwriters insist they do not want the thing being offered.

We don't want it (the hunter)
They constantly repeat their stance to reject something or someone they refer to as 'the hunter.'

You keep it (the hunter)
The other party is free to keep the person or thing they are referring to as 'the hunter.'

We don't want it (the hunter)
The songwriters are still uninterested.
