lyrics

Scrap Traders
They're taking from the churches, all across the nation
They're taking from the schools and the power sub-stations
They take it from the streets, they take it from AC
When they're done taking yours, they'll take it from me
Lost in the wilderness in the city
Can't get your wings under control
Can't give back those things you stole!
Scrap Traders, you do me no favors, you're taking down society
Scrap Traders, you do me no favors, you're taking down the country
They're climbing to the top of the AT&T Towers
Prying off the lights, even if it takes them hours
Packing their pipes with the profits from the lights
stealing all the metal in sight
Lost in the wilderness in the city
Can't get your wings under control
Can't give back those things you stole!
Scrap Traders, you do me no favors, you're taking down society
Scrap Traders, you do me no favors, you're taking down the country
They take it from computers, and from televisions
They take it from the gaslights from the furnace to the kitchen
They're taking all the scraps from everything they see
When they're done taking yours they'll take it from me
Lost in the wilderness in the city
Can't get your wings under control
Can't give back those things you stole!
Scrap Traders, you do me no favors, you're taking down society
Scrap Traders, you do me no favors, you're taking down the country

Copper thieves, fireworks superstore explosions, invaders from space, Stella Maris, failure of luck, halos, maniacs, and bad voltage are all addressed. This band of seasoned songwriting fanatics is dedicated to a collaborative mindset. ... more
