Lyrics
[Intro]
The eyes in this town follow me around like I’m the one that stole their name
What the f*** you think you’re looking at now? I’m not the one to blame
It was your mans who sold your soul, sold your country, sold your company for 73 cents
We paid the price, you laid the dime, he did the crime, now we got millions incapacitated
He ain’t been seen in public since
[Verse 1]
Walking around, find yourself in the Bowery
You don’t know where you’re going, don’t know what to do
The smell of piss is the same but s**t is different
There’s no more Country Bluegrass, no more Blues
And nothing left to lose but don’t look back
Get ready for that, they'll attack now
[Refrain]
They die off and then come back to life
Count their numbers then they multiply
[Verse 2]
Up in smoke just like a ghost out in these gold-plated streets
Don’t see no prophets here, but just like Jeremiah, we’ll disappear
Yeah, we’ll all vanish completely
Don’t get it twisted now
Most folk outside the city want you gone too, shh

More Lyrics
Produced by Algiers
And they coming soon
[Bridge]
Strewn along, broken signs along the interstate
(You all hail ‘cause it’s getting closer)
Calling for Repentance or Hell with no Redemption at all
Throw the new American flag over the old one
(You all hail ‘cause it’s getting closer)
Something tells me it’s not the first thing that you hanged in your yard
Hail, hail the dredge of the angels
(You all hail ‘cause it’s getting closer)
Hail, hail the prize of the swine
You’re waiting to get got ‘cause they got you fat and laid out
(You all hail ‘cause it’s getting closer)
Spinning on a spit with the fruit of knowledge gagging your mouth
[Refrain]
They die off and then come back to life
Count their numbers then they multiply
They die then come back to life
Count their numbers then they multiply
