Nellie Mckay - Big One

 (versiyon 1)
Metin boyutu: ( + Büyült ) ( - Küçült)   
As you're walkin' down the street

Might wanna skip the beat, think it over

Walkin' to the corner store

But it ain't there no more



If you want a loaf of bread

You try a pharmacy instead

Another chain will set you free



When you go to pay the rent

You see it's all been spent

The purse is empty

Money, money make a buck

But you're all outta luck



This town ain't friendly now

A thousand faces stare you down

Each one's afraid of what you see



Slither in your sea

(Can't deny it)

Hide behind the view

(Gentrifying)

Take a life or two

(The revolution's comin' 'round)



Clingin' to the door

(Quiver, coward)

Profit off the poor

(Fight the power)

Pay 'em even more

(That's why they took Bruce Bailey down)

Took Bruce Bailey down



Lookin' like the Jack's back

But he ain't gonna attack

His hands are flippin'

Druggies dyin' in the halls

They're bangin' on the walls



Your ma ain't trippin' now

It ain't a home if you ain't allowed

What time's the cease fire, where's the heat?



Spittin' on the old

(Sister, brother)

Shittin' on your soul

(Welfare mother)

Profit is the goal

(The revolution's comin' 'round)



Payin' off a loan

(Mass eviction)

Elevate the zone

(Ain't no fiction)

Breakin' up a home

(That's why they took Bruce Bailey down)

Took Bruce Bailey down



No more tokens, take a train

You swipe a piece of plastic paper

No more smokin' on the plane

You gripe they'll take you to the jailer



Abide your time, it's all in vain

They tell you as you meet your maker

Grief's the mother of invention

Pain's the midwife to your labor



Turn it, burn it, cure it, endure it

If you are able, sucker



People standing in the park

It's getting mighty dark

The kids are scowlin'

Shutter up the windows tight

This is an evil night



The wind is howlin' fast

Another tragedy has passed

Another stain on you and me



Slither in your sea

(Can't deny it)

Hide behind the view

(Gentrifying)

Take a life or two

(The revolution's comin' 'round)



Clingin' to the door

(Quiver, cower)

Profit off the poor

(Fight the power)

Pay 'em even more

(That's why they took Bruce Bailey down)

Took Bruce Bailey down



Spittin' on the old

(Sister, brother)

Shittin' on your soul

(Welfare mother)

Profit is the goal

(The revolution's comin' 'round)



Payin' off a loan

(Mass eviction)

Elevate the zone

(Ain't no fiction)

Breakin' up a home

(That's why they took Bruce Bailey down)

Took Bruce Bailey down
