Burn This City
Rising Against Urban Decay: Burn This City by Crusty Drunks Reveals a Bleak Reality
Lyrics
Trapped in a rotting pit
Feeling stuck and confined in a deteriorating environment
The criminals rule the streets
Street criminals have control and dominance
Traumatized by the age of five the horrors witnessed by these eyes
Early exposure to traumatic experiences since the age of five
Young minds easily mislead
Youthful minds easily influenced and misguided
To shoot each other dead
Engaged in violence, resulting in fatal consequences
The innocent are helpless victims with no help from their system
Innocent people are victims without support from the system
We're left with an overwhelming fear
Overwhelmed by fear due to the circumstances
For the ones we hold so dear
Fear for the safety of loved ones
Friends are here and then they're gone
Friendships are fleeting, often lost due to external pressures
Over choices they were forced upon
Choices forced upon individuals lead to their demise
Working families staying poor
Struggling working families remain in poverty
Lazy ones living off of government support
Laziness is supported by government assistance
Unemployed they run and steal
Unemployed individuals resort to crime for survival
To scrounge up for one more meal
Stealing to secure the next meal due to desperation
Morality is in decay
Moral values are decaying in society
The good get through it day by day
Despite challenges, morally upright individuals persevere
But most never know
Many are unaware of the harsh realities
What's going on
A lack of awareness about the ongoing issues
Most minds are an empty shell
Most minds are vacant and uninformed
Few ever really scape this hell
Only a few manage to escape the difficult circumstances
Rise up and take the streets take it back from the rats and pigs
Encouragement to rise against oppression and reclaim control
We'll let those bastards know
A declaration to confront those responsible for the hardships
We're coming and burning down this hellhole
Expressing intent to rebel and dismantle the oppressive environment
