Bourgeoisie

Bourgeoisie

Pistol Grip
(album: The Shots From the Kalico Rose)

I guess I´m just another victim of the silicon age
Don´t wanna be a peasant working just for minimum wage
Let me join the rank & file of the bourgeoisie
With Ronald Reagan, Barbara Wyatt, and the KKK
Don´t wanna see my mother living through the separation
I can hear the masses sing "viva la revolution"
I never asked to be born proletariat class
I´m gonna kill for the power of the bourgeois brass
Empower me,
I wanna be
bourgeoisie

I want a big suburban home with a wrought-iron fence
Don´t need a pool I´ll just swim in my own arrogance
I´m just a product of the street, yet above everyone
I´m the badest motherfucker livin´ under the sun
Empower me,
Authority,
bourgeoisie
I´m the corruption of the cops spraying people with mace
And I´m the congress woman spitting in the immigrant´s face
The lamb of god forcing all the little children to pray
I am the judge, jury, the bourgeoisie
