No Exchanges

Cracked sidewalk

In a dead summer heat

Watch from across the road

Their screams can’t touch you here

 

You’ve got no food

And bare feet

You’ve got nothing left
But the fist and the wall

 

Equal time and equal measure
Anger is your only treasure
We’re at war
With equality
Cause it doesn’t exist

 

There is no pause, reset

This life is all you get

You fucked it up

You fucked it up so bad

By being born

With the wrong dad

 

Bombs falling, streets crumble

It’s fucking cold here

Down in the basement
Shrapnel can’t touch you

 

You’ve got no food

And bare feet

You’ve got nothing left

But the fist and the wall

 

There is no pause, reset

This life is all you get

You fucked it up

You fucked it up so bad

By being born

In the wrong land

 

Silence

Your fist met the wall

You changed nothing at all

You’ve got nothing left

 

There is no pause, reset

This life is all you get

You fucked it up

You fucked it up so bad

By being born
