Hungry people don't stay hungry for long
They get hope from fire and smoke as the wheat grows strong
Hungry people don't stay hungry for long
But, they get hope from fire and smoke as they reach for the dawnThe spirit of Jackson now screams through the ruins
Through factory chains and the ghost of the union
Forgotten remains disappear to their new homes
The knife the thrust the life burns to the raw boneThe blood on the floor of the tear is still dryin'
Cover the spread sheets the Dow Jones skyin'
Cell block, live stock the bodies their buyin'
Old south order, new northern horizonViolence in all hands embrace it if need be
Livin' been warfare I press it to CD
Violence in all hands embrace it if need be
Livin' been warfare I press it to CDA fire in the master's house is set
A fire in the master's house is set
A fire in the master's house is set
A fire in the master's house is setHungry people don't stay hungry for long
They get hope from fire and smoke as the wheat grows strong
Hungry people don't stay hungry for long
They get hope from fire and smoke as they reach for the dawnYeah , yeah check the high tech terror
Yes the new order athletes
Peer into the eyes of the child already on trial
Armies rippin' families apart get 'em on fileConvictions fit the stock profile, all the while films of dogs
Cutting through homes ripping skin from bones
Yes, the new millennium homes privatizing through private eyes and
An era risin' of the old south order new northern horizonViolence in all hands embrace it if need be
Livin' been warfare I press it to CD
Violence in all hands embrace it if need be
Livin' been warfare I press it to CDA fire in the master's house is set
A fire in the master's house is set
A fire in the master's house is set
A fire in the master's house is set
