Killing Margery Keller - The Sum of You

How you gonna live on $10 an hour?
The tips are nice slinging whiskey sours
But man, fuck your flowers I got bills to pay
Placing my dreams on layaway
We trading life for a place to sleep
That's just how we been raised to think
But do the math, it ain't adding up
And my landlord surely don't give a fuck
I got one bills two bills three bills four
Stacked to ceiling from the floor
Ain't no meaning anymore
We do this shit to do some more
Shit man, I ain't anti-work
But when corporate profits are so berserk
I just wanna little taste and that birds the word
But they hoard the goods my man It's just so absurd

Some of you fix
Some of you fight
Some of you wander and wonder what's right
Some of you working so hard you just can't stop the grind
Long enough to get screws back in tight
Some of you think
Some of you pray
Some of you pacify some other way
Some of you scream til you passin' out cold on the floor
Cause you ain't got no words left to say
Some of you high
Some of you low
Some of you pickin' yourself off the floor
Some of you summin' up every buck wondering what is left
What we all doin' this for
The Sum of you
The Sum of you

Let's add it up, we saved for years
Been working through the blood sweat and tears
One thousand square feet of the American dream
Staring back at me through this offer sheet
But we can't compete, cash buyers receipt
Says he's gettin' the deed, for his corporate chief
Mother fucking theif of the american dream
Gets a bonus for his shareholders greed
Oh, here we go
All my violent tendencies are ready to show
Mount wannahakalugi ready to blow
But the slaughters almost over ain't no savin' nemo
What in the fuck are we needin' to do?
Close the loops holes but the wealthy sue
Aliens Paul Reiser working a ruse
But we all streaming him and Helen Mad About You

Some of you fix
Some of you fight
Some of you wander and wonder what's right
Some of you working so hard you just can't stop the grind
Long enough to get screws back in tight
Some of you think
Some of you pray
Some of you pacify some other way
Some of you scream til you passin' out cold on the floor
Cause you ain't got no words left to say
Some of you high
Some of you low
Some of you pickin' yourself off the floor
Some of you summin' up every buck wondering what is left
What we all doin' this for
The Sum of you
The Sum of you

Oh, yeah we doing this now
All these mother fuckers wanna make us bow
Bend the knee to thank them for the handouts
Make us enemies and cozy up their sow
We standin' up the best we can and we standin' proud
We standing with our brothers formin' up a crowd
We standing for the rights through grace we've been endowed
And all who've come before we celebrate them now
This ain't about orange men and geriatric power
It's all about living in this worlds most defining hour
It ain't about elephants asses and fundraising
It's all about getting us together as human beings

Some of you fix
Some of you fight
Some of you wander and wonder what's right
Some of you working so hard you just can't stop the grind
Long enough to get screws back in tight
Some of you think
Some of you pray
Some of you pacify some other way
Some of you scream til you passin' out cold on the floor
Cause you ain't got no words left to say
Some of you high
Some of you low
Some of you pickin' yourself off the floor
Some of you summin' up every buck wondering what is left
What we all doin' this for

This ain't about orange men and geriatric power
It's all about living in this worlds most defining hour
It ain't about elephants asses and fundraising
It's all about getting us together as human beings

The Sum of you
