Lyrics GUTTER - Melanie Martinez

GUTTER

One by one
The houses get stolen by corporate erosion
Winters come with
Nowhere to hide out, don't sleep 'cause they'll find out
Nobody ever thinks
They'll end up broken till they're out there frozen
Screaming, "They're crazy," till
You're the one begging for food for your baby

You don't see the pain, see the harm
See the carving on their arm
See the truth, see the lives
See the severed family ties
See the town where they reside
Money don't fall out from the sky
See the child, they have a mother
You just throw them in the gutter

No one's safe
The powers that be are so sick and deranged
Clean the streets
They lock them in jail and make them work for free
Nobody ever
Talks to their neighbor till they need a favor
Come to the forest, and
Build your community, don't get immune to this

Don't see the pain, see the harm
See the carving on their arm
See the truth, see the lives
See the severed family ties
See the town where they reside
Money don't fall out from the sky
See the child, they have a mother
You just throw them in the gutter

If everything's said and done and you're around, I'ma run
I'd rather die than be near you
Evil is as evil does, y'all can just go get fucked
We'll be haunting you, haunting, haunting you, haunting you

Don't see the pain, see the harm
See the carving on their arm
See the truth, see the lives
See the severed family ties
See the town where they reside
Money don't fall out from the sky
See the child, they have a mother
You just throw them in the gutter
