A song about hostile takeovers and destcruction of small businesses and the evils of capitalism. it and "I'm a Poser Romantic" were the songs that made it from the first week of writing.
lyrics
We're Taking Over
Verse 1
We're taking over
we'll show ya what it's all about
We'll buy how much we can
We don't care about famine or draught
An international conglemorate
We'll see your small business
as a nail, we'll hammer it
You're going down
We're staying afloat while you drown
Greedy white collar
We're bringing the dollars
We'll do it just because
We're taking over
praise us
Verse 2
We're taking over
corproate logos, no ethos
With our best lawyers
you wouldn't want to meet us
We're Burger Kings and H&M's
pop up shops,We'll endanger them
Your café will be a Hot Topic
We'll make your micro brewery microscopic
Hostile takeover
Extreme makeover
You will know how
We're taking over
right now
Verse 3
We're taking over
World domination is our goal
With us in charge
Every city will lose its soul
No more shops in basements
Just our product placements
You'll think you're going mad
when you hear your own thoughts in a Youtube ad
Even your mommy knows
You'll fall like dominos
so get of our way
cuz We're taking over
today
