A House on Fire

The bars low
Decency? No
Six feet under democracy dies slow
Cheap rhinestones
Look how they grow
Man up, child
Looks like a fine show
Joke's getting old
Rights to be sold
I've never met a man whose life is worth its weight in gold
Pretty lies told
For minds to mold
Dealt a winning hand
Why should I fold?

Love for country
Lathered sunscreen
I'd let those kids out their cages if they weren't unclean
My kids will run free
Never know hungry
Keep the reality of knees on necks from me
Prosperity's scarce
Life's just not fair
Right, fuck your feelings
It's not my job to care
Smoke in the air
Bleed, my skin's rare
I'm safe inside a house on fire and I'm not scared

I feel attacked
Jesus come back
These shithole countries have wasted your bootstraps
Redline the maps
Call it a wrap
I will take no responsibility for all that
Poison the skies
Let oceans rise
Why should I care about a child if she's not mine?
Ooh! It's not nice
Bet on the dice
Cause you were lucky enough to never ask twice
