"Business Suits And Combat Boots" lyrics
"Business Suits And Combat Boots"
Does history guide you
Or do you set out to change it
Breached not broken
Breached not broken
Fuck your skinned-alive designer wear
Fashion shades and salon hair
Heels to help where nature failed
Artificial teeth and nails
The wasp's nest expands
So clap your hands
It's her
The one black woman who's success you don't credit to Affirmative Action
The way of the future is corporate sponsors raising your kids
Maternal love is nothing compared to what $7 gives
Put in
Suck out plastic body parts
It's the ever growing industry of cosmetic arts
Bombarded with the idealized shots
Dysmorphic
Self-destructive plots
Physical flaws are a mental blank
So pay your surgeons
It's your parents who you should thank
These eyes are blind to several hundred left behind
Lest we forget again
But the border is breached but not broken
Who tries to find the several hundred left behind
When the border is breached but not broken
Co-existing in a twisted society
Where youth is a crime
And wasteful sweat-shops expenditures are how luxury is defined
Now the KKK has found a new masquerade
Fuck your self-proclaimed supremacy
You hide your face and your shame
Identify right and wrong when all fact is merely opinion
You cannot know the sweetness of victory without first dwelling in the agony of defeat
These eyes are blind to several hundred left behind
Lest we forget again
But the border is breached but not broken
Who tries to find the several hundred left behind
When the border is breached but not broken
We forgot again

They call the Rising Sun

Come a little bit closer
Before we begin
Let me tell you how I want it
And exactly what I need

Nobody gives a damn
It's up to you how to hide or flee
Their hunger never ends

Arch Enemy - "You Will Know My Name" The judging eyes watching me
Is all I've ever known
When I try to open up my heart
I am ridiculed and torn apart
You tell jokes I'll never get to hear
Behind my back at my expense
There's something...
