"Mondrian Was A Liar" lyrics

"Mondrian Was A Liar"

White eyes in coal mines
Concrete industry
Bare backs, baseball caps

The sweat is part of life
We're still thriving
We've got a lot of mouths to feed
And we're trying
You think I do this for me
Join the caste
Flip through old photographs
Of our family's past

Building your home
Giving your life
Our livelihood

It's always been
Like this, always been
Like this, always been
Like this, always been
Like this, always been
Like this, always been
Like this, always been (Creators)
Like this, always been

People you never see, the ones you'll never be
Working with their hands, we've downsized again
All through history, building piece by piece
It's not for you to erase

With your algebra
And your science

Simple labor
Simple labor

White eyes
In coal mines
