lyrics

Let me tell you all
Just what I’ve seen
What I been witness to unwittingly
It ain’t pretty
It is downright base
But it all happened unremittingly
I wish I did not see
But I can’t change reality

Here they come
Like a juggernaut
They are blowing around like autumn leaves
They’ll eat you out
Of your house and home
Watch them close they are as thick as thieves

Say what you will
But you can’t know
What it’s like to live among this tribe
They stew in their filth
They are not contrite
As for the rest I’m at pains to describe
Suffice to say they're vile
And they’re here to stay for long, long while

Don't you equivocate
Better do something before it's too late
Don’t turn a blind eye
Don’t let these sleeping dogs lie

You can judge me
Call me scum
But you’ve got no idea where I’m coming from
I have lived it
I’ve seen it all first hand
They play the game of zero sum
I’m soon to be replaced
Thrown out like toxic waste
