When Rhetoric Dies - BoySetsFire[00:00:00]

Written by：Rob Avery[00:00:00]

We raise the flags and statues to our mission[00:00:01]

We've spoken out in slogans and campaigns[00:00:08]

Talked and talked on almost every issue[00:00:16]

Where oppression of the masses is the constant theme[00:00:23]

But what does this mean to a little town in Iowa[00:00:30]

Where the jobs have gone down stream[00:00:38]

Down south down and out[00:00:41]

Where their fingers used to work to the bone all day[00:00:46]

Profits rise and fall and starvation is a game[00:00:53]

Where is the food that used to cover their table[00:01:02]

Where is the sense of pride at the end of the day[00:01:09]

To the face of a thriving corporation[00:01:16]

What could a dying family possibly say[00:01:24]

On the face of every American worker[00:01:36]

Is the constant fear that their job will not remain[00:01:44]

As the C E O is planning his vacation[00:01:51]

To kill or be killed is the nature of the beast[00:01:58]

Where is the food that used to cover their table[00:02:08]

Where is the sense of pride at the end of the day[00:02:14]

King of face of a thriving corporation[00:02:21]

What could a dying family possibly say[00:02:29]

Stand in line take a number you sell your soul[00:02:41]

Then watch it crumble into[00:02:46]

A pile of rubble that used to be[00:02:49]

Your job your life your family's daily bread[00:02:52]

Dry and stale malnourished kids[00:02:57]

The house is sold for a degrading bid[00:03:03]

Do we continue to talk[00:03:09]

Or do we take a hammer[00:03:13]

To their chains[00:03:16]

To their chains[00:03:20]

To their chains[00:03:23]
