[Lyric] By Choice or Design (Anecdata)

And by choice or design
Or by any other way
I will get what I want
I will get what I need

No - we will not pay
We all need to stay afloat
And when I rule the world
You can drink from my moat

But it's not like that anymore
You won't get away with that anymore

Is there no other way
To placate the thirsty crowd
But to sell them a life
Is empathy not allowed?

And by choice or design
Will the message overcome?
As you see, I can hold a grudge
Will you budge, or be dumb?
But it's not like that anymore
You won't get away with that anymore

But it's not like that anymore
You won't get away with that anymore
And it's not like that anymore
You won't get away with that anymore

By choice or design, life will find a way
