lyrics

Bursting

underneath the numbers
and colors clever words
pictures of a burning house
how many dreams deferred

capital held sacred
bright cross against the sky
all the rest expendable
indentured then you die

something here is bursting
the fault lines show so clear
need to stop the power now
big darkness drawing near

tanks continue rolling
the sacrifices mount
they no longer taste or smell
but all know how to count

deep below the surface
a bunker made of gold
orders sent to suffocate
exert their thug control

chorus

we live in a class war
that long has hinged on race
futile to resist they shout
now back into your place

out here in the suburbs
those looters on tv
thank god for our sprawling house
and troops to keep us free
