letra de seized up (2023 remaster) - the suicide machines
[verse 1]
my friend steve p-ssed away all his years
’cause he was slaving building cars
blood and sweat upon the gears
all of his off time spent at the bars
years and years of nothing but sorrow
i wonder how can he be content?
f-cking just to wake up tomorrow
and he’ll do it all over again
gonna wake up tomorrow and do it again
[chorus]
on the streets of detroit
on the streets of this town
all their dreams are destroyed
once you’re in you can never get out
[verse 2]
see, reggie sleeps on jefferson avenue
on the courthouse heat exhausts
he’s no different than me or you
in 1984 he got laid off
a motor city, dead of winter
shared a joke and i gave him some change (hey)
wonder is there a hope his future?
i don’t know, i never saw him again
don’t think that i’ll ever see him again, no
[chorus]
on the streets of detroit
on the streets of this town
all their dreams are destroyed
once you’re in you can never get out
[bridge]
the casinos
miles and miles of factories
thousands of condemned homes
every corner, churches and liquor stores
all i need is a match and some gasoline
i’m gonna burn it down (i’m gonna burn it down)
i’m gonna burn it down (i’m gonna burn it down)
i’m gonna burn it down (i’m gonna burn it down)
i’m gonna burn it down
[verse 3]
my father put in his best years, yeah
working for one of the big three
i still remember my mother’s tears
we’re born to die in a factory
coming home at dawn’s early break
see, he’s strung out from the late night shift (hey)
pills and powder to stay awake
i see his bottles are empty again
prescription bottles are empty again, ah
[chorus]
on the streets of detroit
on the streets of this town
all their dreams are destroyed
once you’re in you can never get out
on the streets of detroit (detroit)
on the streets of this town
all their dreams are destroyed (destroyed)
once you’re in you can never get out
sometimes i wanna burn it down
[outro]
on the streets of detroit
on the streets of this town (yeah)
all their dreams are destroyed
once you’re in you can never get out
on the streets of detroit
on the streets of this town
