Resurrection Man
Resurrection Man: Unveiling the Macabre Symphony of Economic Doom
Lyrics
I was born in a cemetery
I originated in a cemetery.
And learned to walk on skulls and bones
I learned to walk amidst human remains.
Was taught to speak by the living dead
My ability to speak was influenced by the undead.
And raised beneath a funeral moon
I grew up under the influence of a funeral moon.
Horror stories, talking heads
Various frightening narratives and influential figures.
Segregate the living dead
Separating the living dead from the living.
The living dead
Refers to those who are physically alive but spiritually dead.
I'm a shadow on your brightest dreams
I am a dark presence in your most optimistic aspirations.
A horse for Baron Samedi
I serve as a symbol for Baron Samedi, associated with voodoo rituals.
Pure voodoo, economic hell
Symbolic of economic hardships and suffering.
I've come to pick your carcass clean
I've arrived to exploit and consume what remains of you.
Horror stories, talking heads
Reiteration of disturbing tales and influential figures.
Segregate the living dead, oh
Reinforcing the separation between the living and the spiritually dead.
Horror stories, talking heads
Continuation of unsettling narratives and influential figures.
Shilling for the thoroughbreds
Promoting and supporting elite classes.
Racial strife and rising debts
Referring to social conflicts and increasing financial burdens.
Segregate the living dead
Continued segregation between the living and the spiritually dead.
I'm the resurrection man
I am the agent of revival after destruction.
A jackal in a three-piece suit
A metaphorical scavenger in formal attire.
Death and taxes for the damned
Death and taxes are inevitable for the condemned.
Brought to heel beneath my boot
Exerting control and dominance over those in despair.
So chase that carrot straight to hell
Encouraging the pursuit of unattainable goals.
The status that you're dying for
Desire for a social status that leads to destruction.
And decorate your coffin well
Adorning your inevitable demise.
The system is a graveyard
Describing the societal structure as a place of death.
I'm Loki in the counting room
Comparing oneself to Loki, a trickster god, in a financial setting.
Trickle-down narcotic doom
Trickle-down effect of destructive substances.
Superfunds for cancer towns
Funds allocated for dealing with cancer in certain areas.
The bottom line is six feet down
The ultimate consequence is death.
In barren ground
In a desolate and unproductive environment.
Six feet down
Emphasizing the inevitability of death.
Horror stories, talking heads
Reiteration of disturbing tales and influential figures.
The living dead
Refers again to the spiritually dead.
I'm gonna bury you
A declaration of burying or overcoming someone or something.
Barren ground
Highlighting the unproductive nature of a particular ground.
