Brick Thief

I've got walls generations old Ever expanding across the years Where do the bricks come from? Why is that relevant? Straight from the kiln I rent to desperate hands That would burn themselves So their kids could eat And when those kids grow up We'll pay them to do the same Break it, buy it, diversify it Crash it, sell it (Over and over again) Different masters, Same game Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat We earned it They say we are T-H-I-E-V-E-S That's your opinion I've got contracts Generations old There's always a deal to be made Whose blood did you use to sign? That's a family secret I work so hard I'm a self-made man Just like my Dad And those before him It's not easy to be Given so much that want is just a game Break it, buy it, diversify it Crash it, sell it (Over and over again) Different masters, Same game Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat We earned it They say we are T-H-I-E-V-E-S These hands, so scarred This will, so broken Thank you for the scraps It's always been like this So who am I to complain? I'll just keep on moving Just keep moving the way I say Until the end Just keep digging down to your own grave Sometimes I look down into that abyss And I wonder why you don't just push me in
