Wish we could see the clouds past the metal and concrete,
Miss the song and dance of a single rainy cloud,
Tendrils careening from heaven onto passengers in convertibles,
And in those convertibles hold a ****** bag of capital,
To tear our eyes away from the broadening horizon.
There's someone in the driver's seat,
Try to get your words out but you're beat,
A form made of nothing but muddy peat,
Unable to find a way to rebel, to speak.
Oil blends itself into the water after the storm,
When we step inside it clings to our shoes,
Gripping and shimmering with a distinct stink,
And it'll embed into our skin to possess us,
To tear our eyes away from the flesh it rots.
There's someone in the driver's seat,
Try to get your words out but you're beat,
A form made of nothing but muddy peat,
Unable to find a way to rebel, to speak.
Every ******* house left dilapidated,
Guarded by the dogs of the state,
As saints beg to be allowed inside,
And every body deemed unworthy,
Blown to ******* smithereens,
For the rich, for the powerful,
Wipe their faces of the blood,
That traces the corners of their mouths.
I don't want to hear it,
I want to see it,
I don't want to hear it,
I want to see it,
I don't want to hear it.
I want to see it.
I want to see your feet hit the street.
I better see your feet hit the street.
