all your labour.

PLEASE

the mask

is slipping

stagger in

like laboured breathing

if you're desperate? I get it

do me the courtesy of introductions

they're gonna sell your house

at the police auction

if the roof you built won't hold the water

I can make you a better offer

THEY TOOK EVERYTHING AWAY FROM ME

I REMEMBER EVERY ANNIVERSARY

HANDS TO THE RAFTERS

CHAIN BY CHAIN

DESPERATE TIMES, DESPERATE MEANS

MORAL PANIC, DISBELIEF

knee deep and the work is thankless

lined up in the street to shift your assets

carved out like guttering

and the rain won't stop falling

it's a matter of perspective

a tragedy or a death wish

paint what you see

but this family has to eat

THEY TOOK EVERYTHING AWAY FROM ME

I REMEMBER EVERY ANNIVERSARY

HANDS TO THE RAFTERS

CHAIN BY CHAIN

DESPERATE TIMES, DESPERATE MEANS

MORAL PANIC, DISBELIEF

kick the door in to the central bank

this doesn't have to end with violence

put the money in the bag, no sudden movements

and we can all live through this

everybody calm, fingers on triggers, fingers on silent alarms

in the air, sirens scream

news crews are televising the whole thing

you have no options left

you're not the only one here that hates yourself

if you can't get what you need

neither can anyone else

THEY TOOK EVERYTHING AWAY FROM ME

I REMEMBER EVERY ANNIVERSARY

HANDS TO THE RAFTERS

CHAIN BY CHAIN

DESPERATE TIMES, DESPERATE MEANS

MORAL PANIC, DISBELIEF
