Gentrification

 

Open your eyes and recognize this field is one of battle

The vacuums of greed are hard at work hollowing out the luster of the hometown people

Big money is here

Can you feel it's weight pressing upon throat?

The bills keep flooding in like daggers from your wretched masters

Vultures extracting overdrafts pecking at your eyeballs

Some Silicon Valley cocksucker has his gaze fixed on your house
asking for the number of your landlord

Your family the vermin requiring removal so he can go ahead with his plans

Watch as the theatre of your childhood is consumed by the glossy finish of empire

See the prices go up as the belt tightens

Invisible hands always attemting to push you off the cliff into delusion

Get the fuck out of here

Go into the heat

Where the little pittance you have may keep you afloat

Or stay here

And drown
