[Verse 1] I lived through the capture, watched it unfold When power and wealth left the people out cold Oligarchs rising with extractive schemes While Western democracies chase different dreams The methods may vary but patterns are clear When consolidation brings the end drawing near [Chorus] What they know that you don't yet see Same structure, different strategy Extraction flows from many to few The conversation angle for you Connect the dots across the divide Same game with rules they try to hide [Verse 2] From Kyiv to New York the playbook's the same Concentrate power then change the whole game Private equity buys what was once spread around While oligarch networks keep wealth tightly bound The mechanics differ but outcomes align When few control many by corporate design [Chorus] What they know that you don't yet see Same structure, different strategy Extraction flows from many to few The conversation angle for you Connect the dots across the divide Same game with rules they try to hide [Bridge] Post-Soviet capture meets Western finance Both systems dancing the same deadly dance Your front-row perspective can open their eyes To patterns disguised in democratic lies From Ukraine's harsh lessons to Wall Street's embrace The extractive model shows its true face [Verse 3] When economies crumble the signs are the same Consolidation masked as a legitimate game Your story bridges what others can't see How capture destroys what was meant to be free The parallel drawn from your lived experience Makes abstract concepts feel real and immense [Final Chorus] What they know that you don't yet see Same structure, different strategy Extraction flows from many to few The conversation angle for you Your Ukraine lens reveals the truth Behind the myths they sell our youth [Outro] From oligarchs to PE firms Same poison, different terms Your perspective breaks the code Shows the path they never showed
