Seized Up Lyrics - A Match And Some Gasoline - The Suicide Machines

My friend Steve pissed away all his years 'cuz he was slaving building cars 

Blood and sweat upon the gears all of his off time 

Spent at the bar years and years of nothing , but sorrow I wonder 

How can he be content fucking just to wake up 

Tomorrow, he'll do it all over again 

Gonna wake up tomorrow and do it again 

On the streets of Detroit, on the streets of this town 

All their dreams are destroyed 

Once you're in, you can never get out 

See Reggie sleeps on Jefferson Avenue on the courthouse heat exhausts He's no different than me or you 

In 1984 he got layed off a motor city, dead of 

We shared a joke and I gave him some change 

Wonder is there a hope his future I don't know 

I never saw him again don't think that I'll ever see him again 

On the streets of Detroit, on the streets of this town 

All their dreams are destroyed 

Once you're in, you can never get out 

I'm gonna burn it down, I'm gonna burn it down 

I'm gonna burn it down, I'm gonna burn it down 

My father put in his best year, yeah, working for one of the big three 

Still remember my mother's tears, we're born to die in a factory 

Coming home at dawn early break 

See he's strung out from the late night shift 

Pills and powder to stay awake, I see his bottles are empty again 

Empty again, prescription bottles are empty again 

On the streets of Detroit, on the streets of this town 

All their dreams are destroyed 

Once you're in, you can never get out 

On the streets of Detroit, on the streets of this town 

All their dreams are destroyed 

Once you're in, you can never get out 

Sometimes I want to burn it down
