living amongst tombs

living amongst tombs
of the revolutionaries
this's a place
with alot of sea ferries
ocean feeds much
and the people tight lipped
a grim faced bunch
women fast to quip
laundramats far
and food hard to get
bums everywhere
how could we forget
the ghettos down south
and latinos up north
a segregated city
as such put forth
the jobs're supposedly there
but i cant see any
places close at ten
under 21 cant be merry
we're considering leaving
and going up north
where they wont bother here
and she can run her due course
same with england
my hometown
if we went over there
id be pretty proud
a lot of history
and thats where i grew up
apparently alot of indians
that names a history hiccup
brown skinned people
apparently lumped together
its kinda stupid
dont know why they bother
but thats the history
its a racist country
built through conquest
hard to lay a past to rest
but these cobblestone towns
are all around
and we're being ground
and sent all around.
