Xmas Card From A Booker In Mpls

lyrics

I was still a country boy when I moved to this big city
things were a lot nicer then by that I mean shitty
a warehouse space and a basement show and a church we called The Church
you could find a place to get weird with no Google search

Then I guess some kid at the Shit Biscuit told his friends from Orono
they all got jobs at US Bank and moms co-signed the loan
the next thing you know, you can't find a home for under 200k
they even got unreal estate on Chicago and Lake

Had enough?
Burn it down
It can happen in your town
the city council ain't got solutions
in their steel and glass delusions
besides Frey the market up and run us into the ground
you can say that's how it goes, but I just wanna know
who invited all them bros into those fuckin condos
meanwhile down the road
A hundred people are living in tents
cuz they can't pay the fuckin rent

So let's burn it down
Let’s burn it down
Let’s burn it down

Burn it all night like the Hexagon, by dawn by God I’m moving on
Burn it all right like the 3rd Precinct, the tear gas stared and we didn’t blink
Burn it so bright that the world can see, what pain can do when it’s set free,
Til they hear us, alll night longgg
