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
