"We're all in this together"

 Some are the concentration camp guards, others the camp prisoners, and there is a camp orchestra of privileged prisoners. To me it seems like the words of concentration camp guards to the prisoners in a friendlier version of a Nazi empire:

Ain't It is such a drag
You're dressed in rags
Everybody waving these faded flags
Tongue-tied, a fire inside
Caught like a deer in the headlights

Mine, mine, it isn't a lot
So why you tryin' to take more than I got?
More, more, we only want more
It's not what we came for
It's not what we paid for

We're all in this together
So keep moving, don't stop
Keep moving, don't stop
We're all in this together
So keep moving, don't stop
Keep moving, just go, go, go

Every night, I free fall into a dream
Mirrored halls and the chrome machines
It's a phenomenon that goes on and on
Saying it right, but you're doing it wrong

Slow down, you're going too fast now
A delicate dance, take your foot off the gas now
Don't try making it last now
Sooner or later you're a thing of the past

We're all in this together
So keep moving, don't stop
Keep moving, don't stop
We're all in this together
So keep moving, don't stop
So keep moving, don't stop

We may never be the same again
We may never be the same again
So keep moving, don't stop
Keep moving, don't stop

We may never be the same again
We may never be the same again
So keep moving, don't stop
So keep moving, just go, go, go

We are, we are the angry apes
We don't wanna look at no empty plates
We are, we are the fire brigade
All we want to do is set the record straight

We are, we are the first degree
We're the thief, we're the judge, we're the jury
We are, we are the angry apes
Shaking the fruit from the vine
'Til there's nothing to take now

It's a phenomenon that goes on and on
Saying it right, but you're doing it wrong
Tongue-tied, a fire inside
Caught like a deer in the headlights

Slow down, you're going too fast, now
A delicate dance take your foot off the gas now
Don't try making it last, now
Sooner or later, you're a thing of the past

We're all in this together
So keep moving, don't stop
Keep moving, don't stop
We're all in this together
So keep moving, don't stop
Keep moving, don't stop

We may never be the same again
We will never be the same again
So keep moving, don't stop
Keep moving, don't stop
We may never be the same again
We may never be the same again

So keep moving, don't stop
So keep moving, don't stop
Keep moving, don't stop
Keep moving, just go, go, go
