Jaya The Cat - Voice Of The Poor lyrics

And when you said it was gonna be all-right we almost believed you It's the voice of the poor In a dying land The drunk and the drugged and the damned Emergency broadcast Straight out of babylon system As the night comes in It's the voice of the poor In a dying land The drunk and the drugged and the damned and it seems like sometimes that you're never gonna win and it all comes apart in the end Punch the clock and you suffer in silence Night's marked on the barstool spell out your sentence The table's fixed, take what you can get They cup your drinks while they steal your chips It's just a hand-out given with a fist Forced inoculation from self-improvement Sometimes you take just what you can get And if you rock the boat only you get wet You want answers, so the f** do I You got problems, get the f** in line And this world seems wicked and unpure And everyday you wake up it's just It's the voice of the poor In a dying land The drunk and the drugged and the damned Live and direct through the radio silence Loud into the emptyness and as the rain falls over the faithless I know there's a way but I just can't explain it nothing to offer, nothing to give happiness in this world is so goddamn expensive Lockdown the borders but the lines stay open Mainframe is hacked and the code is broken Shots ring out in the financial district As the words of the prophets are twisted They die for your sins but the bills keep coming in And it's never gonna end It's the voice of the poor In a dying land The drunk and the drugged and the damned Emergency broadcast Straight out of babylon system As the night comes in It's the voice of the poor And when you said it was gonna be all-right we almost believed you
