Sin-Eaters Lyrics

Lyric discussion by senorhughes 

Cover art for Sin-Eaters lyrics by National, The

how we are all to blame for the credit crunch. the bankers fuck up and we just bail them out (miracle ferries) for them to do it again.

@senorhughes I think it's saying the opposite, really. The song is eloquently but angrily pointing out that it was the bankers and power elite that knowingly brought about the housing crisis and then pretended they were completely ignorant of it.

And they got away with it. No one was ever prosecuted despite the thousands upon thousands that lost their homes and even more who lost their jobs.

The last part has quiete, almost unintelligible lyrics, but from what I can put together he is saying, "set your houses to the flames/we can live inside the banks."
