lyrics

In the pouring rain, cameras flash blue over our heads
cop vans and fast cars stumble into the canal
I’m the hustler across the bridge
in my bulletproof limousine

Who put class war on hold?
Who said old grudges die hard?
I’m the villain on the TV screen
let my misery comfort you now

The match factory girl is coming for you
weekly thunderstorms drown the fire
the rich are only safe in a wet summer

I climb the thirty steps up the fire escape
and all the way to the top of the water tower
the city fans out below me
a perfect riot scene

Who put class war on hold?
Who said old grudges die hard?
I’m the elevator operator
it’s going down

The match factory girl is coming for you
weekly thunderstorms drown the fire
the rich are only safe in a wet summer
