lyrics

The Freight of The World
Don’t talk to me about baggage baby, while I’ve got the freight of the world strapped to my backside. while I’ve got the hate of this world eating its way through my insides.
There’s only so much a back can take, you can climb aboard, but it might break. There’s only so much the truth can take, you might stretch it out, but we won’t break.
Never going to break.
So don’t bother us with your baggage baby, because we’ve got the freight of the world strapped to our backsides. Because we’ve got the hate of this world gnawing its way through our insides.
Justice is blind, yeah it’s blind to the truth you seek. Just ask Sacto or Vanzetti. They’ll say “long live anarchy, viva, Viva l'anarchia” then they pull the switch on me, then they pass Tesla’s AC right through my body.
The body electric is me.
So don’t bother us with your baggage baby until you’ve had the freight of the world strapped to your backside. Until you’ve had the hate of this world eating its way through your insides.
We’ll haunt you when you sleep, this is a game that we play for keeps.
We’ll haunt you when you sleep, this is a game that we play for keeps.
