What makes a girl start a fire in the hall Leave a lipstick scrawl on the bathroom mirror? She won't settle for a pile of scrap metal While you work the gas pedal at another man's steer She takes her time as authorities arrive Going out for a smoke in the empty back lot She sees the world she imagined as a girl As a lottery ticket for a phony jackpot Years roll on and we still have not dealt with our trauma Years roll on and we still have not looked at our sin What makes a man take a hammer in his hand Shatter every last window of the company store At 3 a.m. with the furies back again? Now it's him against them in a personal war The mind snaps and economies collapse When the one who works hardest gets the smallest reward The big scam is nobody gives a damn That the penthouse suite depends on the bottom three floors And I know how hard you've been working We all know somebody who's been killed We hold power, though it's only for the hour Let the ivory tower know the power we wield They know we got 'em in empires and it's Sodom when it's built from the bottom and the bottom won't build Years roll on and they still have not dealt with our trauma Years roll on and they still have not looked at their sin
What makes a girl start a fire in the hall Leave a lipstick scrawl On the bathroom mirror?

You are an amazing contemporary social poet Ezra. And your music is a promise of happiness. Thanks from Argentina.
I'm from Argentina too. He's a genius

What makes a girl start a fire in the hall
Leave a lipstick scrawl on the bathroom mirror?
She won't settle for a pile of scrap metal
While you work the gas pedal at another man's steer
She takes her time as authorities arrive
Going out for a smoke in the empty back lot
She sees the world she imagined as a girl
As a lottery ticket for a phony jackpot
Years roll on and we still have not dealt with our trauma
Years roll on and we still have not looked at our sin
What makes a man take a hammer in his hand
Shatter every last window of the company store
At 3 a.m. with the furies back again?
Now it's him against them in a personal war
The mind snaps and economies collapse
When the one who works hardest gets the smallest reward
The big scam is nobody gives a damn
That the penthouse suite depends on the bottom three floors
And I know how hard you've been working
We all know somebody who's been killed
We hold power, though it's only for the hour
Let the ivory tower know the power we wield
They know we got 'em in empires and it's Sodom when it's built from the bottom and the bottom won't build
Years roll on and they still have not dealt with our trauma
Years roll on and they still have not looked at their sin
she takes her time as authorities arrive
One of the best from the new album for sure.
so underrated
epic
Fuck yes!
What makes a girl start a fire in the hall
Leave a lipstick scrawl
On the bathroom mirror?
She won't settle for a pile of scrap metal
While you work the gas pedal on another man's steer
She takes her time as authorities arrive
Going out for a smoke in the empty back lot
She sees the world she imagined as a girl
As a lottery ticket for a phoney jackpot
Years roll on and we still have not dealt with our trauma
Years roll on we still have not looked at our sins
What makes a man take a hammer in his hand
Shutter every last window of a company store
At 3 am with the fury's back again
Now it's hammer against man: a personal war
The mind snaps and economies collapse
When the one who works hardest gets the smallest reward
The big scam is nobody gives a damn
That the penthouse suite depends on the bottom three floors
And I know how hard you've been working
We all know somebody who's been killed
(?) like ivory tower and the power we wield
(?) empires (?)
Years roll on and they still have not dealt with our trauma
Years roll on and they still have not looked at their sins
I think the first (?) is "We hold power, oh it's only for the hour". Second starts with "They know we've got em" but that's all I got
