Fifteen - Back Lyrics
So the rent increase has got you down, and you can't afford to live in your own home townWell I bet everybody's feeling the same waySay you're feeling disconnected from the ground, private properties got you downPrivate properties got you shut out of your own worldI was born here and I'm not going anywhereI was grown here and I'm not going anywhereThis is my town, this is my ground, going to take it all back nowAnd give it away to everybodySay your boss man had got you down, say her treats you like some kind of clownSay he treats you like he owns your soulSay the tax man has got you down, says he takes your money, leaves you sitting aroundSpends your money on bombs to promote peace and democracyI was born here . . .This land is their land, this land ain't our landIt's based on greed and god and stealing people's landIt's intimidation conquest and mutilationThis land was stolen from you and meThis land is their land this land ain't our landIt was under the guardianship of the native americanWho knew we belonged to the earth the EARTH DIDNOT BELONG TO THEMWe are merely guardiansThe other night dear as I lay sleepingI dreamt you held me in your armsBut when I broke you were being torturedWith concrete and cars and bombs
