Born
Born
Born to industrial
There in the shadow
Decrepit urban sprawl
Smokestacks rape the air
There are starving mouths to be fed
And broken backs to be clothed
And streets to be pounded
Like a wounded animal
The city is dying
Like a wounded animal
In need of mercy killing
To be put out of its misery
There are no politics for the desperate
No jobs for the destitute
And no hope for the downtrodden
The hunter, he cannot provide
The unemployed gatherer
In a welfare wasteland
Is broken and beaten
Relief in the eye of a needle
Expression through violence
And the irresistible force of decay
The city is dying
Like a wounded animal
In need of mercy killing
It's on its knees
Born
Born to industrial
There in the shadow
Decrepit urban sprawl
Smokestacks rape the air
There are starving mouths to be fed
And broken backs to be clothed
And streets to be pounded
Like a wounded animal
The city is dying
Like a wounded animal
In need of mercy killing
To be put out of its misery
There are no politics for the desperate
No jobs for the destitute
And no hope for the downtrodden
The hunter, he cannot provide
The unemployed gatherer
In a welfare wasteland
Is broken and beaten
Relief in the eye of a needle
Expression through violence
And the irresistible force of decay
The city is dying
Like a wounded animal
In need of mercy killing
It's on its knees
