Ratbite Fever! - The American Progress Machine Lyrics

Clearing out the block
Nowhere left to stay
Lighting fires shut the power off to make you go away
Gang intimidation
Nonsense legalese
Find bigger places to sustain the debt economy
Kicked us all out
Say they want to make it clean
Your suffering is fuel for the American progress machine

Housing misery
On every city street
Half of the apartments are there just to stay empty
Late fee late fee
They're trying to bury me
Cough the money up or they eject you from society

My landlord is a dick
Paying him makes me sick
Raising rent to make me leave
Slaughters my community

Automaton of war
There's hatred in its core
I'm struggling with debt and yet it still wants more
Destroying luxury
Creating lives of pain
Make my family pay for the cleanup of my brains

My landlord is a dick
Paying her makes me sick
Raising rent to make me leave
Slaughters my community

Housing war
Owners score
You've been seen
By the machine
Housing war
Owners score
You've been seen
By the machine
