Beware, the tide's a'rising in the city of brotherly love. The blood red lights were a'flashin as the cellars rose up in a flood. And as they dragged you from the depths of mud, they beat you while you were down. And then they tossed you in jail for a hundred years:save a city, burn it down. And that's what they said as they tore your homes to the ground. And when I was seven in surburban heaven, the teachers and elders and police... they'd cover my ears so I wouldn't hear the gunshots soar through those city streets.And if anyone questioned the liberty bomb, or why the timers were even wound, a scolding they'd earn, and so we soon learned: to save a city, you burn it down. And that's what they said as they burned their homes to the ground. So many people and so many lives. So many keep silent so they can survive. Respect slaughtering cops and the politicians they laud, or the gavels will crush your home and you'll be expected to applaud. So the crime was a trip to the market. The sentence, a lifetime of hurt, as she saw through tears, her home of thirty of years reduced to rubble and dirt. And she cursed those who would approach her and hold papers up to her face, and say, You shoulf feel blessed you live in the U.S. and not some other hellish place So take heed if you live in the city in a part where the tourists wont's tread. And beware if you maintain resisantce and choose not to be on eof othe led. And if you're out in surburban gardens, don't let them plant lies deep in your head, 'cause you too could come home to no home or to find your family dead. 'Cause they've got this dream of a city where no community unity can be found. So stand up and save your neighbor hood. Fuck the city, burn it down(x3)
