The Heart of the World is Made of Flint
Verse I
Jack and Jill went down the hill
with their poisoned pails
They both disappeared
but left their mother a trail
where she found them
with the missing dead
of the lake
Breaking news, another murder
Where god's children foul play
Human traffic and rape
Overdosing the day
Along the highway
into hell, but oh well
(All the police have gone
to find donuts in Arabica)
Are you partial? Are you a drop out?
Then you get a badge
And you get badge
And you get the right to remain silent
until we're all finally remains
like the dead
of the lake
Chorus
Meanwhile an orange colored man
Is gonna come and fix it up
Said our neighborhoods a mess
but nobody is saving us
They're gonna murder your first born
Just to pay the rent
Because the heart of the world
is made of Flint
Verse II
(We love baseball, hotdogs
Applegate, and Chevrolet!)
Breaking news, another murder
Another boring drug related
Midday summer slaying
And no one's complaining
Just another day at the park
where the pipes
sit and waste
Mickey Mouse's murder houses
pushing up daises and flowers
Come tomorrow be forgotten
like the dead of the lake
Breaking news, another triple murder
No one's talking
Guns, drugs, the diabetes
All nails for your coffin
Can't choose a time
but I know a place
to get your feet wet
Chorus
Somewhere an orange colored man
Is gonna come and fix it up
Said what you got to lose?
I'll send the cops to go clean it up
But our families in jail
while our children turn tricks
Because the heart of the world
is made of Flint
Verse III
(We love baseball and hotdogs)
and governmental terrorism
Environ-mental
lead, rust, and entropy
American as apple pie
Gentrify and crucify
new age crosses to burn
Haven't you heard?
the devil's a nerd
the devil's a nerd
Separate the church and state
Separate but lower class
Separate them from the filthy rich
Holy water, wealthy only
Fuck a riot
Seize their paper cups
Handcuff them by the alter
Don't you dare bite the hand
that won't feed
Fear the institution
Fear's the institution
We the people
of the institution
Death, taxes, Legioneers
breeding the future
children of the virus
teach them violence
then throw em in jail
Shoot the believers
take the beggar's liquor
throw the elderly
in the wood chipper
Brick your windows
Build a bunker
Mother Russia
found out
we poison our young
Salvation for the dead
of the lake
May god be with the bomb
May god be with the bomb
Chorus
They said an orange colored man
Is gonna come and fix it up
Said what we got to lose
Those pipes can't just sit and rust
We see them on TV
But haven't heard from them since
Because the heart of the world
is made of Flint
