Davos Hitchhike

Verse 1] Woke up in the trailer, rent overdue again Bills stack like bodies in a forgotten war Leaders on TV with their million-dollar grins Talking 'bout dreams while we sleep on the floor Private jets to Davos, we hitchhike to the mill They cut the food stamps, say "pull up by your boots" While their kids ski Aspen, ours dodge the pill [Verse 2] Healthcare's a casino, we bet on survival Schools crumbling faster than their approval ratings They bail out the banks, watch the foreclosures rise Send our sons to the desert for their oil kings Empty factories rusting in the heartland glare While they toast with champagne to the GDP lie We seethe in the shadows, breathing poisoned air [Pre-Chorus] They don't see the hunger, don't hear the screams Just another photo op in their American dream [Chorus] We seethe, we seethe at the top of the tower While you feast on power, we count every hour Empty pockets aching, hearts full of fire US leadership sold us down the wire Seethe, yeah we seethe, from the trailer to the street You elite keep winning, but we feel the heat One day this rage gonna break the machine Poor of America, waking from the dream [Bridge] No more crumbs from your table, no more lies in the speech We built this nation with calloused hands and broken teeth You divide us with culture wars, keep us fighting in the mud While your lobbyists laugh and count the blood money flood [Outro] So we seethe in silence, but the fire's growing tall Leadership's a circus, and we're done with the show From the alleys to the factories, hear the underground call The poor of America... watching it all fall...
