Smear Campaign

[Music: Embury, Lyrics: Greenway] 


Trodden down like shit underfoot 
Be the downside to others upsides 
Last one to the table - just starve 


You'll get what you're given 


This is set in stone from the ivory towers 
Perception above all - 
When you're face down in the dirt 


Irreversibly persona non grata - 
A figure off ill distinction 
Persona non grata - 
The place for blame diversion 


No matter the plaudits I earn 
The whoring and scoring for points 
To strive to be superficial 
I'll live by your status 


This is knowing your place beneath the ivory towers 
Not a going concern 
But a lowly beast of burden
