Matrons of the Canals

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!
