lyrics

L-O-O-C-I-D

These twisted bastards and their master plan
these muthafukkas got their head in the sand
look look who's left holding the bag
They've got to fatten us, if they want to eat
Think you're so bad cuz u brandish a badge?
a slave to state, a slave to the brand
go home and get some sleep if you can
they've got to fatten us , if they want to eat
fellow man is asking for help,
smile at him and tell 'em to tighten his belt
enjoy your one way ticket to hell
they've got to fatten us if they want to eat

one fin checked in
two fins checked in
three fins checked in
four fins checked in

walmart in, town shuts down, then their all surprised at the sound
hungry bellies and and angry mouths
they've got to fatten us if they want to eat
vote it out , make some change, power structures are still deranged
same technique with a different name
they've got to fatten us if they want to eat

one fin checked in
two fins checked in
three fins checked in
four fins checked in

they signed in blood
they lined the streets
for their first paycheck in weeks
they built the perch, on which you sit
they really don't know when to quit
united in hate, of the bourgeois
when the working class awakes
awakes
awakes
awakes

one fin checked in
two fins checked in
three fins checked in
four fins checked in
