The Bottom

I have been at the steps of the powerful elite
And I have been at the hands of a cold-blooded machine
But from the buildings on Broadway to the 15th precinct
Every millionaire and runaway is coming home tonight

But even though the boat is sinking
And even though the whole foundation is stressed
It gets worse when nobody is speaking out, because things can always get worse
They will get worse

I have been through the walls of the prominent elite
And I have been at the hands of the relentless beliefs
And I know you’ll be making your money off of someone else when the bottom drops out, when the bottom drops out

And even though, even though the house is burning
And even though, even though the infrastructure was crushed
It gets worse when nobody’s left to listen, because things can always get worse
When the bottom drops out

You fuck. I fucking blame you, you fucker, you fuck
I fucking know the reason you came
Your name, your place, your time will come
When the bottom drops out, when the bottom drops out
And even though, even though you’ll get away with it
Even though, even though people like you don’t do time
I know someday your little black heart will pop
Someday you’re gonna die, you're gonna die, you're gonna die

Things can always get worse
Things can always get so much worse
Things can always get worse
Things can always get so much worse
When the bottom drops out
