[Intro] Dust on the teeth… heat on the wire Engines coughing up a funeral choir [Verse 1] Rust in the lungs of a factory town Clock hands grind till the sun goes down Names in a ledger… faces erased They sell our lives by the hour, by weight [Pre-Chorus] Dust in the mouth Truth in the bone You learn real quick You stand alone [Chorus] We are the disposable people Sunburned, broke, and unequal Thrown like sparks from a grinding wheel Tell me our lives don’t bleed, don’t feel We are the disposable people Buried beneath your cathedral Every ghost you tried to ignore Comes kicking back through the door [Verse 2] Concrete prophets preaching control Buying up bodies and calling it soul Blood in the sand still remembers the name Of every one you erased in shame [Pre-Chorus] Fire in the chest Static in veins Push us enough We come back changed [Chorus] We are the disposable people Sunburned, broke, and unequal Thrown like sparks from a grinding wheel Tell me our lives don’t bleed, don’t feel We are the disposable people Buried beneath your cathedral Every ghost you tried to ignore Comes kicking back through the door [Bridge] Low desert wind through a broken amp Feedback weeping from the camp You thought the silence would keep us down But the dirt still speaks when it shakes the ground [Breakdown] Disposable Disposable Say the word… feel the recoil Disposable Disposable Watch the dead rise from the soil [Final Chorus] We are the disposable people Cracked by the sun like an old church steeple Bent like steel but harder to kill Grinding our names into your machine still We are the disposable people Howling outside your cathedral Every ghost you tried to ignore Is at your gate… and wanting more
