"When the cities burn down...": same as chorus
Ive seen a lot of rip-offs in my life.
Seen a lot of scams.
A lot of crooks and crooked schemes, crooked sharks.
Part one of the story reads
The liquor store thief.
The stick up man.
Thrown into the clink,
never coming back, yeah, until the day hes grey and old.
I seen a lot of rip-offs in my life.
The rip-offs of the old and of the young,
the weak, the sick, the never known.
Stabbed repeatedly in the back by the Wall Street suit.
The Washington hack.
Lining up their pockets with the peoples cash and
Laughing all the way to the bank.
Do you want to live your life a slave?
In chains from the cradle to the grave.
The economy is suffering, let it die
Do you want to live your life a slave?
In chains from the cradle to the grave.
The economy is suffering, let it die
Yeah!
I've seen a lot of bailouts in my life.
But why is it I never see a bailout for the homeless and the poor?
And while were on the subject
I could use a few bucks for a guitar amp.
A new six string, and a tank of gas, yeah.
Everything that I want, that I want!
Were so fucked and we dont give a fuck, no.
Were so fucked, but no we just dont care.
Cause were so, so fucked.
This world is shit out of luck and we dont give a fuck.
Do you want to live your life a slave?
In chains from the cradle to the grave.
The economy is suffering, let it die
Do you want to live your life a slave?
In chains from the cradle to the grave.
The economy is suffering, suffering, let it die
When the cities burn down well all be warm.
When the cities burn down well all keep warm.
When the cities burn down well all be warm.
When the cities burn down well all be warm.
When the cities burn down well all keep warm.
When the cities burn down well all be warm.
When the cities burn down well all be warm.
When the cities burn down well all keep warm.
When the cities burn down well all be warm, oh.
We're so fucked, we're so fucked.
