lyrics

We're building it bigger
A babel in the night
Home sweet home among the growing pains

Metal, glass, and concrete still gleam
All-white; scandy-chic

The mixture is bitter
Its Broadway's glowing lights
Strewn with tents and tarps along the way

Ornaments of the stacked regrets
On the highway fence, there's room to rent

Don't forget the din, deafening still
Threatening filth that built castles, condominiums on the sand
Sought to supplant and displace with a rant and a base that comes running, cash in hand

Don't forget the death rattle and spurs, the Cole Haans, and code words: interns, vermin, corner office
Don't forget the time he wasted, trickle down of pain displacement, I'll get my hundred pounds of flesh in ounces

Ornaments of the stacked regrets
On the highway fence, there's room to rent

Every dime spent, only gets bent, the skin's scent, and dissent is born, cranks will turn the screws
This high rise's rent was never meant to build a bridge, it builds a fence, a righteous quarrel, and a ruse

Every other move sitting in check, you just remember you're a speck, I guess, you've got your weed and booze
Every time you almost left the nest, you only tried your very best; the deck's stacked, you're gonna lose

I've got mine, I've got mine;
You've got bandwagons to get behind

I'm at the bridge, on the water, thriving
Stretched on the rack, I can hear them coming
Climbing the stairs, its too late for running
Eat what was grown, strip away all the gilding
The meek are below and inherit the building
An ivory tower full of flesh, ripe for rending
