Where Im From

where im from
the streets are paved with gold
everyone smiles when you walk by
there is a million choices
dreams are sold cheap

your pockets get fat, so does your belly
no one worries
no one fears
if you don't like whats going on
you can disappear

land of the clusterf*ck
lineage of the ancient right
the cancer blights
the antler fights
slave owner on a buck

kick him right when
they were down on their luck
f*ck it rough then
lay pounds of wishes crushed

people of the up and up
hoarders of the suckerpunch
pumpkin or a butternut
sequel where the hungry hunch
