about

I could see the embers rising over the horizon, engulfing green paper and white picket houses meant to raise the property value and send little white hipsters into a frenzy.

The sweat is coagulating in my eyes and I can't see straight and I sweat right onto my cigarette on my break.

I see their faces ignoring me as I cook for another 8 to 10 hour day and I can't help but feel responsible for their approaching fiery deaths.

"It was me who lit the fire, you see, I just needed to escape their walls, their ideas of living, I wanted to see them perish as I sit soundly, perfectly adapted to handle the heat. I don't seek righteousness, I seek vengeance..."

lyrics

I'm sweating buckets in this field at 3.50 an hour
I wasted my life here, oh, can't you taste my labor
What did you expect
What the fuck did you expect
What did you expect
To keep me in check

And I'll piss my whole life away
Just so you can feel free
You don't ever have to hear my voice

I'm working 8 days of the week and Sunday ain't my time to rest
I've got no dividends, no savings, man, I can't even invest
What did you expect
You got to pay to live round here
What did you expect
It's the white man you gotta fear

And I'll piss my whole life away
Just so you can feel free
You don't ever have to hear my voice again
