BoySetsFire - When Rhetoric Dies

Band : BoySetsFire, Album : After The Eulogy, Title : When Rhetoric Dies
Lyrics :
We raise the flags and statues to our mission.
We've spoken out in slogans and in campaigns.
Talked and talked on almost every issue.
Where oppression of the masses is the constant theme.

But what does this mean to a little town in Iowa,
Where the jobs have gone downstream down south, down and out.
Where their fingers used to work to the bone all day,
Profits rise and fall and starvation is a game!

Where is the food that used to cover their table?!
Where is the sense of pride at the end of the day?!
To the face of a thriving corporation!
What could a dying family possibly say?

On the face of every american worker,
Is the constant fear that their job will not remain.
As the c.e.o is planning his vacation,
To kill or be killed is the nature of the beast.

Where is the food that used to cover their table?!
Where is the sense of pride at the end of the day?!
To the face of a thriving corporation!
What could a dying family possibly say?

Stand in line take a number you sell your soul then watch it crumble,
Into a pile of rubble that used to be your job, your life,
Your family's daily bread dry and stale malnourished kids!
The house is sold for a degrading bid!
Do we continue to talk, or do we take a hammer, to their chains! BSF!!!
