WE THE POOR
THE DESTITUTE
THE DISILLUSIONED
THE UN IMAGINED PURSUANT OF PROVISIONS AND ILLUSIONS
OF A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR OUR KIDS
OR SOME SHORT SIDED BULLSHIT
WE CAN THROW FITS
BUT SHIT TWITS
LET'S GET REALISTIC
STICK TO THE GAME PLAN
YOU GAME MAN?
OKAY THEN
SETTLE IN AND BEGIN TO SOAK IN THIS LIFE LESSON
I'M GETTING STRANGE VIBES FROM SOME OF THESE GUYS
IS WHAT A WISE MAN ONCE SAID AMIDST A CASCADE OF LIES
I DESPISE ANY ENTERPRISE THAT SHIES AWAY FROM THE TRUTH
YOU CAN'T BE TRUSTED IF YOU CAN'T BE STRAIGHT
LIVING PROOF
YO THIS ONE IS FOR ALL OF MY PRIMATES
LIVING PROOF OR A SPOOF
YOU CONFUSED?
SO AM i MATE
I'M IRATE
I BERATE A SYSTEM THAT I TAKE TO REPRESENT THE CAUSE OF OPPRESSION THAT DEFLATES MY TEAMMATES
WHAT'S AT STAKE IF THESE FLAKES CONTINUE TO FUCK EVERYTHING UP AT A FURIOUS PACE?
FOR ALL MY POOR PEOPLE WORKING LIKE INDENTURED SERVANTS
STOCKING SHELVES AT WAL-MART OR DOING CUSTOMER SERVICE
THE BOSS WORKS US HARD
LIKE SQUEEZING BLOOD FROM A STONE
GETTING RICH OFF OF THE LABOR OF THE WORKING DRONES
ACHING BONES AND SWOLLEN FEET
BARELY MAKING ENDS MEET
NO HEALTH INSURANCE BECAUSE YOU'RE SCHEDULED FOR THIRTY HOURS A WEEK
TAKE A TEN MINUTE BREAK EVERY THREE HOURS
AND THE TIME YOU GET HOME YOU'RE TOO TIRED TO TAKE A FUCKING SHOWER
YOUR SPIRIT IS SOURED
YOUR WILL IS DEVOURED
ALL THE WANT ADS OF THE DAILY NEWSPAPER YOU'VE SCOURED
BUT EVERY JOB IS SHITTY
PITIFULLY DEMEANING
MINIMUM WAGE PAID FOR PART-TIME HOUSE CLEANING
I DECLARE IT'S A NIGHTMARE THIS AMERICAN DREAM
THE FREE MARKET WORKS JUST LIKE A PYRAMID SCHEME
THOSE AT THE TOP AMASS A GREAT DEAL OF WEALTH
WHILE THE LEFTOVER SCRAPS FEED EVERYONE ELSE

WIPE THE BLOOD FROM MY FACE AND ASSUME MY BATTLE STANCE
YOU'LL BE ENTRANCED AS I ADVANCE WITH AN INTOXICATING DANCE
AND THEN PRANCE FREELY ABOUT SHOOTING OFF MY MOUTH
LIKE A SHOTGUN
SO DUCK SON OR YOU'LL GET TAKEN OUT
ONE BY ONE
PIECE BY PIECE
STEP BY STEP
MOVING SLOWLY
HOLY MOLY
SUCKERS KNOW AND TREAT ME AS IF I WAS HOLY
ONLY LONELINESS IS MORE PAINFUL THAN BEING BETRAYED
IF PEOPLE START PAYING ATTENTION MAYBE PROGRESS CAN BE MADE TOWARDS BUILDING UP A FOUNDATION ON WHICH WE CAN FIRMLY STAND
OR FURIOUSLY FUCK EACH OTHER
OR MAYBE JUST HOLD HANDS
LIFE IS GRAND FOR SOME
HORRIBLY SHITTY FOR OTHERS
TREAT EVERY MOTHERFUCKER LIKE YOUR SISTER OR BROTHER
DUMBER DAYS ARE AHEAD IS WHAT THE TALKING HEAD SAID
I CONTEMPLATED THAT BRIEFLY BEFORE DISCRETELY I FLED
TO AN OTHERWORLDLY PLAIN BURIED DEEP IN MY SUB CONSCIENCE
I AWOKE TO A PANIC CROWD CLAIMING I'D BEEN UNCONSCIOUS
BLOWING MINDS AND MOVING MERCH
PLAYING SHOWS
DOING WORK
PAYING DUES
MAKING DEALS
LIVING CHEAP
SKIPPING MEALS
DEAL WITH WHAT YOUR DEALT
IT'S UP TO YOU AND NO ONE ELSE
TO CAST OFF THE CHAINS AND LOOSEN THE BELT
HELL I NEVER THOUGHT I'D LIVE TO SEE EIGHTEEN
WAKING UP FROM THIS HORRIBLE AMERICAN DREAM
IT SEEMS ABSURD TO ASSUME
THAT WE MAY ONE DAY RESUME
COLLECTIVELY COLLECTING THE CLARITY TO AVERT DOOM

WE'RE FUCKING DOOMED
WE'RE DOOMED
