Landlords

We need you poor, so forever poor
If we compete on fruits of labour, we have none

We only know how to extract, we only think of the impact
When it hits our bottom lines or the types of wine we buy

Parasite, itchy mite, Neolithic appetite
Greedy guts, full of pus, waiting for the bubble bust
Out of sight, out of mind, while you pay up I'll be fine
Parasite? be polite, on the street you'll be tonight

If you don't pay more than half you earn
How will I afford avocado? we have none

We call ourselves the providers, but all we bring are the spiders
They can trap you in our web
As you watch our prices rise even higher
