American Achievements Lyrics by MDC

Millions of Dead Cops

0

[Verse 1]
Abandoned child, no one's baby
Ward of the state, a human mistake
Institutional living will drive you crazy
[Chorus]
Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls
Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls
[Verse 2]
Life has just started, roommate is retarded
Friends, you got none, treated just like scum
Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide
Ain't no love, ain't no pity
Stole me away from my mama's titty
[Chorus]
Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls
Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls
[Verse 1]
Abandoned child, no one's baby
Ward of the state, a human mistake
Institutional living will drive you crazy
[Chorus]
Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls
Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls
[Verse 2]
Life has just started, roommate is retarded
Friends, you got none, treated just like scum
Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide
Ain't no love, ain't no pity
Stole me away from mama's titty
[Chorus]
Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls
Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls
[Bridge]
Turned eighteen, see any hope?
Think you'll fit, don't give a shit
Forget your past, 'cause nothin' lasts
See some die, see shallow lies
No goin' back
No goin' home
It's all pitch black
[Verse 3]
Stuck on drugs, goin' drinkin'
Feelin' nuts, goin' crazy
Feel like shit, feelin' queer
They got a label for this misbehavior
Call this livin'?
Goin' drinking
Call this livin'?
I think I'm dying
There's nowhere to go
There's nowhere to hide
There's no one to trust
There's no one to confide in
[Verse 4]
No goin' back
No goin' home
It's all pitch black
Big Brother's a spy and he's watching you
So do as your told and fit in the mold
He'll treat you cold, he'll eat your soul
He's your guardian angel, he's the master of control
[Chorus]
Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls
Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls
[Outro]
No going back
No going home
It's all pitch black
And there's no God in heaven, so get off your knees
