Flint Hostage Crisis - The Suicide Machines

Drinking water that makes you fucking sick

Left with no choice but to live like hostages

Rich politicians getting over on the poor

Rich corporations are waging class war

The land banks, they burn down all the houses

It’s big money in a state-created crisis

These are the shadows of the working middle class

It’s all about the green, they don’t care about white or black

Third world city

Here in America

Vehicle city

Third world America

And it’s midnight

Shots ring out of sight

She spent 40 years in that factory

The one that kept quiet and looked the other way

They put profit before people instead for rusted out parts

Children don’t smile here and it’s breaking my heart

A new horizon to poverty y’all

You’re backed against a fucking wall

Crime, drugs, gun in hand

But I don’t believe in their fucking war

Neighborhoods boarded up

Boarded schools, bored as fuck

There’s no political power when you are born into the boarded up

Third world city

Here in America

Vehicle city

Third world America

And it’s midnight

Shots ring out of sight

This is what

Class war

Really

Looks like
