Trickle Down System Lyrics

Grandpa's house lay a bit embattered.The family split up since his burial.Bitter fights over the family business.I tell ya, if he were here today....He'd say life compared to deathIs so surreal.My dreamhouse burns to ashesEverynight before the dawn. sAI rummage through and find a familiarBone to carry on. All thoseMemories I thought were long gone.I got to let them alone. Let themAloneChorus: And all that you have.Is easily taken.All that you give.Usually mistaken.Take off your dressesLay naked on the bed...The Trickle Down SystemComes a pouring intoYour head.When we were younger, we were moreLike purveyors: Purverse, Purposeful.And full of neglect. These days weHave been reduced to Surveyors:More Severe, More Soulful, andActually capable of some respect.Chorus: Take off your uniform.Passed the point of no return.Ashes to ashes. return to cinder.Maybe I'm a ponderer.... Sweet drunkOn a pond of her tears.Chorus: Take off everything.
