Brick Thief Lyrics

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
