I saw wealthy people doing their grocery shopping
Alternative Rock, Folk-Rock

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Saw the suits in the clearance bin, scanning expiry dates
Fancy watches ticking fast, but their wallets ain’t so great
Store rejects stack to the ceiling, where the rich now徘徊 (pái huái - linger)
Funny how the tide turns, when the system starts to fail
[Verse 2]
Outside the dollar store, slush seeping through their shoes
Holding signs that used to say “I own this city block”
I pulled a loaf from my discount bag, the kind with the torn label
Said “We’re all just hungry now,” and their eyes met mine, unable to talk
[Pre-Chorus]
The air feels heavy, like 1789 in the air
Revolution 2.0, not with guillotines, but a quiet despair
Pluto’s transit under the collective sign
Whispers “Change is coming,” if we’ve got the spine
[Chorus]
Let’s hold on, let’s help each other, let’s revive our hearts
We can’t survive alone, when the whole world falls apart
Pluto’s transit, shifting tides, washing clean the old
Revolution 2.0 starts with a loaf, a hand, a soul
[Bridge]
They say the rich get richer, but the math don’t add up no more
When the shelves go empty, and the banks lock their doors
We’re all in this together, the CEO and the street vendor
No more “us vs. them,” just human beings, remember?
[Verse 3]
I used to judge the coupon clippers, now I’m one of them
Clipping corners, counting pennies, where did the good times go?
But in the checkout line, a stranger shared their last dollar
Said “We rise together,” and I believed it, though my heart was slow
[Pre-Chorus]
The air feels heavy, like 1789 in the air
Revolution 2.0, not with fire, but a quiet care
Pluto’s transit, collective sign, burning through the night
We’ve got the power, if we stand and fight
[Chorus – Repeat]
Let’s hold on, let’s help each other, let’s revive our hearts
We can’t survive alone, when the whole world falls apart
Pluto’s transit, shifting tides, washing clean the old
Revolution 2.0 starts with a loaf, a hand, a soul
[Outro]
Pluto’s transit, under the sign of the collective
Revolution 2.0, not with blood, but with connection
Let’s hold on, let’s help each other, let’s revive our hearts
We can’t survive alone… no, we can’t survive alone
