lyrics

50 hours of work, another ten on the bus
looks like we're gonna have to add another ten more.
Every year or so we get priced out
have to move further out to the east or north.
Same job, same wage, same bills getting paid
the only thing that's changing is the landlord's income.
Here we are again on the run
lamenting another neighborhood gone.

So tell me where do we go now!

Well I guess...
at least we're better off than those getting the demolition notices
clearing the way for the yuppie playground.
And I hope those bastards enjoy their Salt & Straw because I'd rather salt the earth
then let them continue to take our homes from us.

We can't afford the heating bill so gonna have to make our own.
Light up the city with the burning condos.
Luxury homes just means premium fire wood.
Make angels in the ashes and look up at the glow.

Set the sky aglow. Set the sky aglow.
Pack up, move out, find a new hideout
for a couple of years or you could just stop running.
Thirty day notice to find a new place to live.
I'd rather thirty days to plot my revenge!

Now tell me what did you expect!?

Because in all honesty...
if it's too much to ask for you to let us afford a place to lay our heads,
we can't feel guilty about what comes next.
And while you're away at Burning man, we're gonna burn your crap, man
hand out some no cause evictions of our own.

We can't afford the heating bill so gonna have to make our own.
Light up the city with the burning condos.
Luxury homes just means premium fire wood.
Make angels in the ashes and look up at the glow.
