Bringing You Down Lyrics

The rage that builds in us is bringing you down

Chewed up and spit out, lost and alone
Your jobs been ripped from you and on deck, your home
Can't feed yourself, let alone feed the kids
American dreams have turned to your American greed

Their fingers are crossed while they smile and promise
The wrong side of broke while our gold lines their pockets
On the priority list we place dead last
And their foreclosed signs line our "greener grass"
Look me in my eyes you crooked fuck
Not one more goddamn lie, yeah, your time is up
The rage that builds in us is bringing you down

Watch the weight of it all come crashing down
United, now the kings will lose their crown


And now we're shit out of luck
And they don't give a fuck
No, they don't give a fuck

Now the masses awaken
The embodiment of sacrifice
History in the making
Witness defining moments of our lives

Their fingers are crossed while they smile and promise
The wrong side of broke while our gold lines their pockets
On the priority list we place dead last
And their foreclosed signs line our "greener grass"
Look me in my eyes you crooked fuck
Not one more goddamn lie, yeah, your time is up
The rage that builds in us is bringing you down

Watch the weight of it all come crashing down
United, now the kings will lose their crown

The rage that builds in us is bringing you down
The rage that builds in us is bringing you down
The rage that builds in us is bringing you down
The rage that builds in us is bringing you down

About

Genius Annotation

This song is about the prevailing poverty in America and how the dream of going from rags to riches is not applicable anymore.

The money is in the hands of a few very rich people while the majority is trying to make ends meet.
