Bread & Roses (Explicit)

What did you leave behind

More than a wish more than a pastime

The weathered wings of the worker bee

Drowning in debt to the depths

I regret the day I let them take the flight from me

What did you give up

To try and keep a kid tucked In

Shielded from the cold

It's a sin

The unequals can't win

Until they control it

So give me bread and roses

You get by or you don't

You can't stop or you won't?

Realize what's yours is mine

You control it

So give me bread and give me roses

Have nots always have not

Been the long shot but the sorrow sticks

Into mortar and brick

Build the castles as the capital rains from the sky

You're left out to dry

What is life when hearts starve as well as bodies

No one thrives in the descent

The end won't justify the means

So what justifies the end?

You get by or you don't

You can't stop or you won't?

Realize what's yours is mine

You control it

So give me bread and give me roses

Lend out a hand that you can't retract

Worked to bone yea it breaks your back

It boils up until your skin cracks

No man is my master

Fall back

So give me bread and give me roses

You get by or you don't

You can't stop or you won't?

Realize what's yours is mine

You control it

So give me bread and give me roses
