Living in the Way Lyrics


Kicked to the curb by police told to get the fuck away

A pariah left to live in disgrace

The problems of society on display

A scapegoat for a lie that no one will face

Commodify and privatize what I need to survive

Money from misery, their wealth made with our sacrifice

We're just one day away

Everything can change in a split second

We're just one day away

Nothing is permanent, everything can end

I'm living in the way

I'm living in the way

People lose their lives in our fucking streets

Slowly dying on cold concrete

Victims of greed above, an unintended consequence

They would rather watch us die than admit this all needs to change

Privilege and ignorance standing in the way

Forcing people out of their community

Weaponizing cruelty while sanitizing everything

Living in the way

Living in the way

Imposed life of misery

Collateral damage in the war on poor people

Day by day, nothings, changed

The problems we face are still in place

It's not the system it's the person that they blame

Until we change this, until it all ends, we all share the blame
