lyrics

BACK OF THE YARDS (COMPANY TIME)

In the back of the yards, heard they got em one
WIth them robot bombs, America
Handed some a silver spoon and a golden gun
They stole you an iron lung
I can hear all the metal in your spine
It’s grinding down on company time

Got them bruises that profit the ones
Know it hurts but don’t feel it
Always mouthing your thanks to a god
Made your bed but don’t clean it
If they sold a suicide with a smile, well you’d need it

Numbers up motherfucker, good bye
What you earned, watch em steal it
If they sold a suicide that’s in style, well you’d buy

Kinda strange how there’s always a pill
But it’s never the cure
Ain’t it strange how they tell ya to beg for the light there
Beyond that door
And then when it’s slammed in your face, they stop ya to say
Ya gotta pay the going rate

Been chasing ghosts in your head my friend, we’ve got
Little time for that
Buy your hole in the ground for when the devil comes around
Gotta find a way to see what we’re looking at
We’ve got no time for that

All the daylight spent in the house of dread
They got ya folding up
All the nights you spent drowning in your head
They got ya cold enough?

Brother Ox Shady Grove, Pennsylvania

Brother Ox was a band with an idea behind it. Labor, societal pressure, anguish of the common man: listen to the first album, you hear these themes. This was a good thing.

But it was also an excuse to hide.

Volume 2 is full of characters you know in your personal experience, and some you haven't met yet. It's the same for us. Is it rock or something worse? Are we traitors? To what cause? None. ... more
