Living With Even Les Lyrics

Living With Even Les lyrics

Second time around the shit gets iller



Livin in a world full of filler



Few are true - the rest are killers



Arsonistic - Burnin down the old way, buildin up a new day



Optimistic - But I'm full of nihilistic blood



I never needed love 'cause for the place I live I feel enough



Just try and make a march on my home



You'll find me chained to the building quite unwilling



Where would we go?



I think it's safe to say that I don't know



'Cause someday we'll be going home to find we don't have any home at all



Any day they'll section off our block with riot gear and come evict us all



Today - the Lower East Side is yuppified with fat cats and their poor folk
hide



Someday maybe we will re-emerge from East River a turning tide



And avenue by avenue we'll take back everything we knew



The gardens, the squats, and all our share



We'll even take back Tompkins Square



I've got something of a problem with the nation



It's called gentrification



Marching to our heighborhood to lock us in the station



How many blessings can I count? There are too many to amount



But deep in suburbia men are being trained to come into my neighborhood
&



Take over the Avenue



The brutal truth of it all is that the brute dollar strength will be our
fall



Tanks in the street, ghetto birds in the air



Snipers on the rooftops and a nod from the mayor



I have no future anymore - I'm waiting for imminent war



Wish I could say I was waiting for the sun



But I know eviction day will come



& we'll be deafened by the money drum



Pushing the poor off-shore
