Homeland, a block of ice up North
The only place I kinda used to like before
But nowadays people here don't seem to know the basics
Don't eat yellow snow - don't vote for racists.
Whether they're marching in their boots at night
Or playing dress-up up in parliament in suits and ties
Cold days, you might say, but pay respect
To our innovative new social safety net
You get tax benefits if you wanna get a maid
But if your body's broken down they'll take your medicaid
Oh and young people, for your enjoyment
You get shit wages and insecure employment
The people have made their choice, and they do not fail
Our government is now quite a tasy cocktail
Conservatives, christians, mixed with some Ayn Rand
If you wanna bash the poor than this shit is the Grand Slam
(Refrain)
Gravity, it's getting heavy
Gravity, it's getting heavy
Gravity, it's getting heavy
Gravity, it's getting heavy
Gravity, it's getting heavy
Gravity, it's getting heavy
Your highness prime minister, can I get five minutes to
Discuss this Fase 3 thing? I find it quite sinister.
Occupational program is the description,
Work camp would be a more fitting depiction.
Unpaid slave labour of a rare kind
Plus you're not allowed to educate yourself in your spare time
Thinks this helps people? Then you're dumb and demented
But it's grerat if you want the social structure cemented.
You just let people know their place and then make sure
That by any means they remain in it forevermore
No escaping the frustration that keeps returning
And now you're wondering why the streets are burning.
I do not condone violence or the cause of the pain
But when the fire's started who could you honestly blame?
The youth in despair who were born in pain
Or those who never gave a shit until the cars where in flames
Gravity, it's getting heavy
Gravity, it's getting heavy
Gravity, it's getting heavy
Gravity, it's getting heavy
Gravity, it's getting heavy
Gravity, it's getting heavy
