lyrics

My new lease is signed and sealed

Impossible to be repealed

It’s such a hopeful start
The place is relatively clean
And though it may not be pristine
It’s such a hopeful start
The tap water is pouring brown
But maybe it’s just this part of town
Foreboding cuts me like a knife

I found some droppings on the floor
And the hinges fell right off the door

Foreboding cuts me like a knife

Oh comfort me my slumlord
Heal me with your promises
Your bullshit and your lies
You are everything that I despise

My drinking problem’s getting worse
Blood vessel’s about to burst
Feeling like I’ve made a huge mistake
Everyone important’s gone
Am I strong enough to carry on

Feeling like I’ve made a huge mistake
Indeed the worst has been confirmed
The pipes have burst and I’m informed

Life’s a cold hard bitch and don’t I know
The walls have zero insulation
And in my fingers a numb sensation

Life’s a cold hard bitch and don’t I know

Oh comfort me my slumlord
Heal me with your rhetoric
Your crocodile eyes
You are everything that I despise

There’s no insurance
No safety net,
I’ve risked my future on a fool’s bet
Feeling like the worst is confirmed

Been cheated on my trust destroyed

I’m a cynical fuck and unemployed
Feeling like the worst is confirmed
Seventeen candles light my room
This frozen prison will be my tomb
I’d give anything for a nice warm bed
Drastic measures must be taken
The evil in me will soon awaken
I’d give anything for a nice warm bed

We’re no longer slaves to you
We’re no longer slaves to you
We’re no longer slaves to you
We’re no longer slaves to you

Let me leave you with a parting gift

I will leave you with a parting gift

Let me leave you with a parting gift

I will leave you with a parting gift

Grab a crowbar
Grab a brick
It’s time to tear the ghetto house of lies to bits

I’d show you mercy

If I could
But I’d rather destroy your lively hood
Mirrors smashed
And bottles broken

I think you’ll find that actions speak louder than words spoken
No hard feelings
No hard feelings

I hope that there’s no hard feelings between us
