Beasts of Burden

from Noise for New Movement by Wayward Kid

lyrics

i had stagnated
just like all the rest
i was set up for
an easy death
they gave me a number
and i had accepted it
it’s not hard to forget
that we have so much fucking time left
but i broke the hand
of the man ran like this was my one last chance
i saw a life where we could live like we had always told ourselves that we’d be

i will be going down but not without a war
did you assume that i had nothing to fight for?
gonna be a force to be fucking reckoned with
never sought to set ourselves up to be a myth
but does fighting to keep your head above water make you a hero?
at that moment when it comes down to giving it 100% or giving it zero

heard the news today
they’re takin’ our homes away
where we’d built our beds
and we laid our heads
in the city heat
tank’s rolling down 13th street
we don’t have that much fucking time left
we welded the door shut
stood up
built a wall like this was our last stand
we saw a life where we could live like we had always told ourselves that we’d be

we will be going down but not without a war
did you assume that we had nothing to fight for?
gonna be a force to be fucking reckoned with
never sought to set ourselves up to be a myth
but does fighting to keep your head above water make you a hero?
at that moment when it comes down to giving it 100% or giving it zero
