Sold my soul to the devil for a bottle of wine And he told me I came up short Guess the life that I lead's been killing me Stripping me of my worth You and me, honey, have been working our fingers Down to bare white bone For a pittance of pay, a struggle everyday Through the sun and the mud and the dirt Sold body to industry; plan set since birth To toil for the tyrants who hostaged the earth Skin and bone poised to feed the machine: Make human resources of human beings Keep on pumping the oil from the dirt Stark, hollow suits seek to hollow the earth Fill hollow hands up with silver and gold Til our blood boileth over and into our throats Gave my heart to a movement to end in my death In hopes of removing the boot from my neck Like a comrade shot down in the street A failed revolution, a violent regime It's been painted in red on the wall That the grave comes a-callin' someday on us all But if everything dies then this nation will too Let's just hope that it bites it before me and you 'Cause every ruined kingdom's tantamount to a blank slate A massive empty canvas or a blank cassette tape There's so much lost potential inside an abandoned building When it's boarded up, 'cause god forbid we use the space for something So break out all your crowbars, if we wait til we're allowed All these empty buildings will just sit nailed shut all over town When I'm saying "f*ck the government" I really mean my dear That we could do much better, so let's build something new here
