[00:00:00] When Rhetoric Dies - BoySetsFire

[00:00:00] Written by：Rob Avery

[00:00:01] We raise the flags and statues to our mission

[00:00:08] We've spoken out in slogans and campaigns

[00:00:16] Talked and talked on almost every issue

[00:00:23] Where oppression of the masses is the constant theme

[00:00:30] But what does this mean to a little town in Iowa

[00:00:38] Where the jobs have gone down stream

[00:00:41] Down south down and out

[00:00:46] Where their fingers used to work to the bone all day

[00:00:53] Profits rise and fall and starvation is a game

[00:01:02] Where is the food that used to cover their table

[00:01:09] Where is the sense of pride at the end of the day

[00:01:16] To the face of a thriving corporation

[00:01:24] What could a dying family possibly say

[00:01:36] On the face of every American worker

[00:01:44] Is the constant fear that their job will not remain

[00:01:51] As the C E O is planning his vacation

[00:01:58] To kill or be killed is the nature of the beast

[00:02:08] Where is the food that used to cover their table

[00:02:14] Where is the sense of pride at the end of the day

[00:02:21] King of face of a thriving corporation

[00:02:29] What could a dying family possibly say

[00:02:41] Stand in line take a number you sell your soul

[00:02:46] Then watch it crumble into

[00:02:49] A pile of rubble that used to be

[00:02:52] Your job your life your family's daily bread

[00:02:57] Dry and stale malnourished kids

[00:03:03] The house is sold for a degrading bid

[00:03:09] Do we continue to talk

[00:03:13] Or do we take a hammer

[00:03:16] To their chains

[00:03:20] To their chains

[00:03:23] To their chains
