Lyrics
Children Of The Dust
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You let the building burn
They were only criminals
You watched the frisking filth
Safe believing "it's a show"
You steal it from the store
There is no face attached
You teach your children well
Yet puzzle when they vent
You kill 'em for their creed
While they are bowing down
They're heroes 'cause they're queer
You gonna bow for them?
You hate them for their love
Use it to strangle them
You keep the fire cool
Lest it bloom to light the course
So human…so human
You let the babies starve
Yet bristle at my words
You piss in your bathtub
And see yourself as clean
