lyrics

falling bricks hit me, hit me off my rocker’s edge
falling glass rips my, rips my retinas beyond repair
rat poisoning subsidizes nutritious supply
living under slum law, you’re not yours, you’re mine

slums falling, time and space contorted past mine
ghetto children creating things out of slime
underground will teach them truthful lies
under my roof the square domain is mine
I’ve got no place to hide

concealed weapons, godzilla in disguise
eternal trash can, breeding grounds for the mice
given a chance, two thugs will multiply
living under slum law, you’re not yours, you’re mine

I’ve got no place to hide
I’ve got no other place to go

gotta get out, gotta escape
gotta build up, resistance to the fakes
gotta feed good, to manipulate
gotta get out, before it’s too late
