Legacy Lyrics
December 61.
My dads wages light.
Still on that salary
We, all four, could sleep tight.
Right now if you drank from
That very same well,
Youd need a run of luck
To score a bed in a trick hotel.
Is this the legacy of
Too much for too few
That I see?
The kind of legacy thats
Tossin some good men
To their knees.
The great societys
Maligned concrete cage
Sits dead and vacant now -
At least it kept out rain.
With all those corners cut
The cracks grow wide and near.
I heard some cash was saved
But where its gone aint clear..
Who goes down next I dont know.
I dont know nothin anymore.
Tomorrows legacy thats
Layin in state
Awaits reprieve.
I always thought that when a man goes down
You do your best to pick him up.
But how can the milk of kindness trickle down
When its syphoned off and cheats the cup?

Gr8 tune. I first heard this on LucasArt's Fullthrottle (which I would HIGHLY recommend) :D :)
Seems to me to be about the decline of blue-collar jobs due to outsourcing and technology, and the widening divide between rich and poor in the US.
