New Millennium Homes lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hungry people don't stay hungry for long

They get hope from fire and smoke as the weak grow strong

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)

[Chorus]

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 weak grow 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]
