Baby, I'm living in a bad part of town
Where every yard's filled with corpses with every step you hear the sound
Of each body breaking underneath all the weight
Of the shame and the loathing that come from this place
I wish I could just burn it all to the ground
I'd pile up the bodies - shovel pound after pound
They're brittle and they're broken so I don't think they'd mind
If I used all their longing as fuel for the fire
But sometimes I think maybe I'm not the first
Like I've been here before but the roles well reversed
I feel like nothing that I do will ever compare
To what came before me so why should I care?
And every night I dream of all the ones that swore they would forget me
but in the morning they'd be dried up in a pile under an oak tree
I've dried up and fallen from thousands of trees
So I know I'm no different than all of these leaves
I saw my first glimpse of death today
And Baby, I've got the shakes
Everything I do, it's all for you
Gonna leave you in a world where the oceans are blue
While they spend their time waiting in the green room
We live life like we're gonna die soon
Is this the way it's always been?
Is there no prayer or medicine
that can split this mobius strip
Tear apart all of this bullshit?
Cause every day the rich get richer
While we kill ourselves on blood and liquor
Demonize your education
Then charge you arms and legs for your tuition
Bourgeoisie gods that hold all the power
Sit up top in their ivory towers
Born into this pampered position
With slaves in pocket - Priests and Politicians
They keep you in a stranglehold
Unto your debt you are betrothed
They twist the facts into their favor
And profit off of your slave labor
Everything I do, I do it for you
Cause we all know that we’re gonna die soon
