At Hope

The smell, the smell, the smell

I can taste it

The smell, the smell, the smell

There are piles of dog shit sitting on my lawn

We get nothing even when we ask for more

Poverty

Why not leave?

I can't see

Wood through trees

Living in the gutter gives an even head

Adverse conditions, heighten suspicion

Noise above a mutter could result in death

Just keep it quiet, no need to fight it

Poverty

Why not leave?

Yeah!

The smell, the smell, the smell

I can taste it

The smell, the smell, the smell

Didn't notice anything was out of place

How did we never know it got better?

Rodents anthromorphosised and forced to race

To make a living, you've got to give in

Poverty

Why not leave?

I can't see wood through trees

I can't

Smell, the smell, the smell

I can taste it

The smell, the smell, the smell

I can taste it

The smell, the smell, the smell

I can taste it

The smell, the smell, the smell

That's what they wanted

That how they need us

That's how they want us
