Tom Morello - New Millennium Homes lyrics

[Verse 1] Hungry people don't stay hungry for long They get hope from fire and smoke as they reach for the dawn Hungry people don't stay hungry for long They get hope from fire and smoke as they reach for the dawn The spirit of Jackson now screams through the ruins Through factory chains and the ghost of the Union The forgotten remains disappear to their new homes The knife, the thrust, the life burns to the raw bone The blood on the floor of the tear is still dryin' Cover the spread sheets, the Dow Jones skyin' The cell block live stock, the bodies they buyin' Old south order, new northern horizon! [Pre-Chorus] Violence in all hands, embrace it if need be (Violence in all hands, embrace it if need be) Livin' been warfare, I press it to CD! (Livin' been warfare, I press it to CD!) Violence in all hands, embrace it if need be (Violence in all hands, embrace it if need be) Livin' been warfare, I press it to CD! (Livin' been warfare, I press it to CD!) [Hook] A fire in the master's house is set! A fire in the master's house is set! A fire in the master's house is set! A fire in the master's house is set! [Verse 2] Hungry people don't stay hungry for long.. They get hope from fire and smoke as the wheat grows strong.. Hungry people don't stay hungry for long.. They get hope from fire and smoke as they reach for the dawn! Yo, yo, check the high tech terror of the new order athletes Peering into the eyes of the child already on trial These armies rippin' families apart, get 'em on file Convictions fit the stock profile all the while Films of dogs, cuttin' through homes Ripping skin from bones, yes the New Millennium Homes Privatizing through private eyes, an era rising Of the old south order, new northern horizon [Pre-Chorus + Hook]
