The Suicide Machines - Seized Up lyrics

My friend Steve pissed away all his years cuz he was slaving building cars blood and sweat upon the gears all of his off time spent at the bar years and years of nothing but sorrow I wonder how can he be content f**ing just to wake up tomorrow 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 See Reggie sleeps on Jefferson Avenue on the courthouse heat exhausts he's no different than me or you in 1984 he got layed off a motor city dead of we shared a joke and I gave him some change 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 [Chorus] *Tons of casinos, miles and miles of factories thousand's of condemned homes,every corner there's churches and liquor stores all i need is a match and some gasoline.* I'm gonna burn it down [4x] My father put in his best year yeah working for one of the big 3 still remember my mother's tears we're born to die in a factory coming home at dawn early break see he's strung out from the late night shift pills and powder to stay awake I see his bottles are empty again empty again prescription bottles are empty again [Chorus 2x] Sometimes I want to burn it down
