Concrete floors, concrete walls

See him walking in the neon streetlight
Kind of tough guy you’ll find in a streetfight
Once he had a job, a home and a wife
But the crisis took away his old life

Hear her sobbing in a lonely busstop
In her eyes you won’t find one more teardrop
Scars you’ll find on her soul and her body
Onca a prom queen now she looks like shoddy

He sells hot stuff on a shabby corner
If you’re cold then he’ll be there to warm ya
Gets it on quick, he’s a pretty smart guy
He can go on just by living the lie

Concrete floors make a perfect playground
Concrete walls will help if it is too loud
When the street screams you won’t even notice
Ain’t your problem, you don’t wanna know this

There, on your TV
A pretty girl you see
She tells you, it’s allright
There’s no need to fight
The weather is okay
Your loan is on its way
She looking so hot
She’s the only friend you’ve got

Teenagers hang out in a rotten car-wreck
Watch out now they surely gonna attack
Grab your purse, your mobile and your ray ban
Run away as fast and far as you can

There’s a veteran sittin’ on the gutter
Talks to himself in a kind of stutter
He is unshaved and his left leg is missing
Don’t get to close or he’ll think your listening

A lonely mother looking for her daughter
She works two jobs, wasn’t there to guard her
She is runnin’ through a lonely basement
The life she knew now has come to an end

Concrete floors make a perfect playground
Concrete walls will help if it is too loud
When the street screams you won’t even notice
Ain’t your problem, you don’t wanna know this

There on your TV
A handsome guy you see
He’s educated well
And he’s here to tell
You what to think or do
What is wrong or true
He smiling all the time
And poisoning your mind

It’s their own fault if they’re poor and hungry
They don’t have to, this is a free country
The one who works hard he will always make it
The money’s all there, you just have to take it

Like a storm flood poverty is soaring
Like a wolf pack underdogs are roaring
Rabble’s coming. Now who’s gonna guard you?
If they don’t stay where they appertain to?

Think again if you got friend or foe right
Think again, if really you want to fight
For entrepreneurs, bankers, politicans
Do you really believe in their visions?

Concrete floors will become battle fields then
Concrete walls… they will be stormed and broken
When the street screams are you gonna join them?
It’s your decision and it will be your problem
