Lyrics

Who confused our economy for the Blue Collar Comedy They got billion dollar jokes and two dollar apologies That right there, that's funny Smack a dummy to fix stupid, looters cash money then git 'er done Where will you hide when the revolution comes? When the banks get ganked and you lose your funds? When the neck that gets red from the noose that is hung On the branch of the family tree is your sons Deadbeats walking livewires in dire times Risking life and limb to say 'That ain't no child of mine!' While the poor kids try to call dibs from the drinking time that's all fit from vile faucets Hide the forests from guys with corporate tax cuts They claim death is an expense even before the axe struck I'm actually inspired to have canned goods stacked in my cupboard Half the world's on fire the other half is flooded We let the flames build We remind ourselves they're all dead, they're all gone, they're all killed They're not though And they rise from the toxins Running their marathon with no finish line in Boston We occupied empty fanfare The waterline was rising and all we did was stand clear Every time you hear that man you cry (From the origin) You run from school with teardrops in your eye (To the descent) Every time you hear that man you cry (From the origin) You run from school with teardrops in your eye From the origin of species to the descent of man I present this plan Come from protecting represent this land If it fails us 'c'est la vie' And if you feel crushed then hate on me Cause I'mma fly off the handle by the seat of my pants Hold a fire to my candle try to leave with your hands See the dance of the flickering flame spark your interest The answer is simple- plain dark and intent I won't invest in reactionary kneejerks There's Chinese blood on your Che Guevara t-shirts 'Me first! Me first!' mentality gimme gimme Every single form of government works in theory I take your life's deeds and I put em on paper Apply equations to that shit to make me seem like your savior Til you all see- nature's a manmade wasteland With a God that's recycled, modernized and replaced again (Yeah, man) Every time you hear that man you cry (From the origin) You run from school with teardrops in your eye (To the descent) Every time you hear that man you cry (From the origin) You run from school with teardrops in your eye (To the descent) Every time you hear that man you cry (From the origin) You run from school with teardrops in your eye (To the descent) Every time you hear that man you cry (From the origin) You run from school with teardrops in your eye
