Lyrics for Mondrian Was a Liar

White eyes in coal mines Concrete industry Bare backs, baseball caps The sweat is part of life We're still thriving We've got a lot of mouths to feed And we're trying You think I do this for me Join the caste Flip through old photographs of our family's past Building your home, giving your life, our livelihood Creators It's always been like this People you never see, the ones you'll never be Working with their hands We've downsized again All through history building piece by piece It's not for you to erase with your algebra and your science Simple labor
