Story behind the song
We were always a bit dubious about the strength of this song and whether it had the ability to impress. But after a few adjustments to the song, it has really taken form and has become my favourite DSA song to date. 'Black Heart Market' covers a lot of imminent issues regarding the situations surrounding major workplaces. Those who are employed by people whose blood run solely on the sound of coins falling into their pockets. The amount of people who are mindless enough to work in these "money barracks" is unbelievable, yet it is something so many people have to resort to. I would safely say I would never want to resort to a job of that, but these type of places are only growing in size and multiplying in numbers and I often wonder how long it will be until it is the only option available... If that time is sooner than we imagine, will we be able to simply fall in line? I couldn't... Regards, Toner
Lyrics
Choked by these collars, these ties These suits fold over our eyes For a small price, I'll spit in your face You're right, I don't know my place I don't know my place I don't know I can't break free of this Pull the blinds I can't bear it Grab this leash and tuck it round my neck And take me somewhere else Decline what you want in a flash Nameless, you're only more cash You're only more cash You're more cash I can't break free of this Pull the blinds I can't bear it Grab this leash and tuck it round my neck And take me somewhere else It's just a pre-determined vision A pre-prescribed prescription A prison And I don't want to fall in line Strike three Blame me Please blame me This ain't What you had in mind Had in mind Still you gather and you crowd Like a flock to a pot of gold One shot is all you've got Win or lose, your neck is sold From the second you were born Your life was decided for you Now you line against the wall And you hang yourselves in stereo Still there's something we can do To this tram of our destruction Set afire the bridge we cross Stick a nail in the hand that bore you We need someone to break it down Anyone to break it down Please someone break it down Before we all break down
