Matrons Of The Canals - Western Addiction

We’re the working poor

We’re the labor forced

Routine banality

We stand in the sun just to eat

Antiqued trappings

Filthy proximity

Languid surveillance

You were birthed into luck we were born into chance

We offer our bosoms while you beat your breast

Feed your children while you dance on our backs

We’re the matrons of the canals

Annihilate pride

Puritans drive

Stayed requitals

We’ll be reimbursed with the fall of Rafael

Emerald resentment

Somehow I’m listless

I see your merriment

I know it’s shallow but I just can’t help it

We offer our bosoms while you beat your breast

Feed your children while you dance on our backs

We’re the matrons of the canals

You rise the ranks as we raise your crops

Patiently comply in the parking lots

We’re the patrons of the canals

We watch while you beat your breasts

Feed your children with our broken backs

We’re the matrons of the canals

There’s hatred from the canals

We’re the matrons of the canals

Yeah!
