[Verse 1]
Parasite man, what is your plan?
Claim you're the highest intelligence
Twist with your teeth, meaty and raw
Tell me now, who is the savage here?
And if I could have a moment with you
I'd throw all your limbs down a laundry chute
It wouldn't be cruel, just what you accrued
Pressure, it boils 'til smoke ensues

[Chorus]
Rent is high and the taxes due
On a floating rock, burning avenues
Where's the alien who can save us now?
Mother Nature screams, death is guaranteed
I'll say it again, burning away, oh-ah
Falling away, oh-ah, dying away, oh-ah
I'll say it again, burning away, oh-ah
Falling away, oh-ah, dying away, oh-ah
I'll say it again

[Post-Chorus]
Heed to the warning, feed them the potion
Wise are the tortured, trees by the ocean
Keep your emotion, lead with devotion
Kill the oppressor, drunk on corruption

[Verse 2]
Bacteria, propaganda
Lightning devices, designer drügs
Breeding the youth, workers to foes
If anyone questions the status quo
Their bunkers and war is what we work for
Our feelings are numb and our pockets poor
And competition, it doesn't exist
They made it all up, so we don't resist

[Chorus]
Rent is high and the taxes due
On a floating rock, burning avenues
Where's the alien who can save us now?
Mother Nature screams, death is guaranteed
I'll say it again, burning away, oh-ah
Falling away, oh-ah, dying away, oh-ah
I'll say it again, burning away, oh-ah
Falling away, oh-ah, dying away, oh-ah
I'll say it again

[Post-Chorus]
Heed to the warning, feed them the potion
Wise are the tortured, trees by the ocean
Keep your emotion, lead with devotion
Kill the oppressor, drunk on corruption

[Chorus]
Rent is high and the taxes due
On a floating rock, burning avenues
Where's the alien who can save us now?
Mother Nature screams, death is guaranteed
I'll say it again, burning away, oh-ah
Falling away, oh-ah, dying away, oh-ah
I'll say it again, burning away, oh-ah
Falling away, oh-ah, dying away, oh-ah
I'll say it again

[Post-Chorus]
Heed to the warning, feed them the potion
Wise are the tortured, trees by the ocean
Keep your emotion, lead with devotion
Kill the oppressor, drunk on corruption

[Outro]
Arrests today after a confrontation over the clearing of a homeless encampment
We just saw the city arrest homeless people
And throw all their stuff away
The sanitation department just finished up clearing out people who had been living on the street here
