bad breeding - contempt lyrics

Loading...

beneath the lacquer, between the lathe
laughs the con that gold drips from effort
not drained from the hours
of those on the scaffold
dragged to meet their fate
and did it shine for you?
asbestos dreaming
blackened lungs
another empty week
tracing comfort in the stasis of a debt
the trickle down of acid rain
contempt is the weapon sharpened since birth
contempt is the leveller laced in their truth
each shattered morning no colour or meaning
in coke+drip shards and hollow leanings
cogs turn as intended with faceless abuse
behind the fiction lies a map of intent
a triumph of vision in their hiss of suspicion
the drum of strife and fractures in time
payments of shame, beleaguered and broken
behind the fiction lies a map of intent
contempt is the weapon sharpened since birth
contempt is the leveller laced in their truth
is this the house we really built
or just the ruin we’re forced to bear?
peeled and scabbing
maimed at its foundations
kept together with compassion
endless toil and tears of hope held in the gut
our labour sold so short, the pain and loss
fed to the instruments of partition
blistered hands and splintered minds
while walls of glass and steel rise;
gifted by the spoils of all our time
so if this is to be the last call before the fences climb
dismantle their contempt because there will be no peace without violence
harness the anguish of our collective memory
and fight with an open heart and sharpened mind
