about
A song about class war and uniting against an indifferent-to-belligerent capitalist class!
lyrics
Dragged out of bed for commute and the grind,
Say goodbye to things that you swore you'd never leave behind,
It's a calling you've turned deaf to and you're unsatisfied,
"Freedom for Security", but even then, that's a lie!
Cuz at any given moment it can come crashing down,
Bossman could throw us out; destabilize another town.
So what's there to do? And who's it gonna be?
Who you beholden to in the land of the free?
Cuz they said,
Not with that kind of attitude,
No you ain't getting more of your Peasant Food
Processed meal in cardboard box,
Sawdust and glucose, it never seems to be enough
It's got you feeling sick and you ain't sleeping right,
Just another burnt out cog with bills to pay, no will to fight
So one day we got to talking about the job,
Came to the bossman saying "think we might be getting robbed?
You say you take the risks to dole out your dimes,
But your pocket's full of dollars, so you buy your way to better times
And he said,
Not with that kind of attitude,
No you ain't getting more of your Peasant Food
So goes the story of the wolf and the lamb,
And how they said your family but never really gave a damn,
Their find breads aren't buttered by humility,
Lifestyle's not luxurious without that kind of apathy,
The blood in the diamond and the flesh in the gold,
Yet they feel nothing, yeah, you know their blood is stone cold
You could choke on your rations and beans,
You could waste away, they control all the means!
Cuz they said,
Not with that kind of attitude,
Yeah, you ain't getting more of your Peasant Food
[Alright now!]
[oh my god]
