water bills late
rent still unpaid
clauses have changed
since the deal was made
scraping a living
wage slavery theft
it's taking its toll
their taking whats left
there are some things
that you cant make us give
you cant make us die
but we pay to live
burn all the flags
and forsake the nation
we get diseased
can't afford medication
pressures on us
and if we should fail
the choice is starvation
or decay in jail
