where's your fire?

from CATHETERS by Jon Epworth

/

lyrics

one man suffer one man profit
reaching into other's pocket
pocket empty still demanding
stripped beyond all understanding
we can see it empathizing
why are we not mobilizing

where's your fire
and more importantly
where is mine

he replacing what we cherish
building mansions ostentatious
oligarchy is obtaining
while i frozen stand complaining
mere objections hold no meaning
if not followed by throat bleeding

where's your fire
and more importantly
where is mine

(they say if you love something you should set it free, so maybe that’s why we’ve given away the air for no fee, and you can’t buy time so you rent it and resent it, get mad at how you’ve spent it, freeze the fire with phone choirs who act surprised when they can’t bend it. one man is enough to build a babylon to rival the best laid plans later laid to waste in the sand and one moment is enough to decide before the spring falls once and for all, which side are you on, and where’s your fire)

where's your fire
and more importantly
where is mine
