Every Crooked Finger

[Verse 1]
Well the bread they broke grew mold, I turned my head, I looked away
Was passed for generations, growing dustier with age
For what it’s worth, I couldn’t give a shit, I’m not ashamed
I’d crush it into tiny pieces if I had just one day
To rinse all of the blood out of my brain

[Verse 2]
I swear, it’s pinned to my chest, laid down to rest, strewn across the floor
Left our bodies achin’, always looking for that penny more
Never could prepare us for what we’ve got in store
I got legs for walking, breath for talkin’ my way out of the back door
Escape the fire, head into the storm

[Verse 3]
It don’t matter how you package it, the content’s all the same
Every crooked finger’s pointed back at who’s to blame
You got a million fingers pointed at you every goddamned day
You ask me for my signature, but I don’t even know my name
Just what my momma called me when I came

[Chorus]
La de da de da de da da da
La de da da da da da
La de da de da de da da da
La de da da da da da

[Verse 4]
We’re drenched in medication, we’ve been carrying the load
In our crooked little factory, machinery explodes
What used to clink and whir and spin, now the joints corrode
You know that lunchtime’s over when you hear that whistle blowin’
Now, get back to work, you nasty little chode

[Chorus]
La de da de da de da da da
La de da da da da da
La de da de da de da da da
La de da da da da da

[Bridge]
Bark! Bark! Go the hounds
Take the man, throw him down
Cock! Cock! Cock your guns
Pinned to the deck and drowned in rum
Traveled I, from shore to shore
Lost my eye to a bloody whore
Traveled I, from sea to sea
Deck stained red with mutiny

[Verse 5]
Now, the reservoirs are empty, yet another harvest failed
You can hear them diesels hummin’ but you’re tied down to the rail
For a good investment, buy stock in prison cells
Because felonies are champagne bubbles for our boys on capital hill
Marble floors on top of a landfill
