Dirt Empire

[Chorus] Get to work the empire of dirt wants you to work And you, you better listen and learn before you get hurt Or worse if you don't deserve to live Search to find yourself deep inside this hell on earth my friend I see a patch of hope , no its an antidote cloak Must be a mask, a hoax dressed like a phantom no ghost I try to laugh and joke to make the time pass go Is it a trap for most that makes you happy? no, broke Like its grassy slope but not grassy up close Transplants in homes like anthills with clones I'm in the lab alone, I get it spinnin' like pinwheels So marvelous in pitch darkness with two sparklers [Verse 1] Sparticus walkin' through the terrordome armorless Dagger through the heart of it, snap bone and cartilage Come to my, come to my city starve with us God made dirt and dirt is a part of us Replace chewed up wires and spark plugs to spark it up Hit the toll plaza like a runway for cars and trucks I used to count the water towers, dad drove Now i'm countin' on out of towner's to travel in droves I mean, the skyline reminds me where I'm from And how far I've come, I've just begun You wanna be down? tarred and goosefeathered Then put yourself in a position to getcha' a new profession From post traumatic stress to pre-pubescent Post to the Times read who perished Come on pay us a visit put it on your credit card Indebted to large corporations, slide your debit or [Chorus] Get to work the empire of dirt wants you to work And you, you better listen and learn before you get hurt Or worse if you don't deserve to live Search to find yourself deep inside this hell on earth my friend I see a patch of hope , no its an antidote cloak Must be a mask, a hoax dressed like a phantom no ghost I try to laugh and joke to make the time pass go Is it a trap for most that makes you happy? no, broke Like its grassy slope but not grassy up close Transplants in homes like anthills with clones I'm in the lab alone, I get it spinnin' like pinwheels So marvelous in pitch darkness with two sparklers [Verse 2] Whether you a harbinger tryin' to exploit us Your kneelin' on your hands and knees prayin' to nothin' more than a toilet Join us, sit have a drink let me spoil it I will destroy and own where the oil is Avoid us, choose who roll with, voices Disappointment, election time, choices We will protect the dream if it means puttin' a team up Fortitude at its best for my people and our freedom I mean, the landscape reminds me where I'm from And all those wars won, who I've become And its fun spreadin' my name through a missile launcher spray nozzle Jet planes flyin' under radar's for paintbombin' Only the crimson velvet hue makes progress Green is what they say the world goes 'round with We're in the middle of a crucial conflict You wanna make it, I want your tax dollars [Bridge] And you can have it all And you can have a ball You'll need nothing more So you can laugh it off And you can have it all More drugs and alcohol But you can't set fire to a dirt empire And you can have it all And you can have a ball You'll need nothing more So you can laugh it off And you can have it all More drugs and alcohol But nothing is dirt cheap in the land of opportunity [Chorus] Get to work the empire of dirt wants you to work And you, you better listen and learn before you get hurt Or worse if you don't deserve to live Search to find yourself deep inside this hell on earth my friend I see a patch of hope , no its an antidote cloak Must be a mask, a hoax dressed like a phantom no ghost I try to laugh and joke to make the time pass go Is it a trap for most that makes you happy? no, broke Like its grassy slope but not grassy up close Transplants in homes like anthills with clones I'm in the lab alone, I get it spinnin' like pinwheels So marvelous in pitch darkness with two sparklers
