In My Shoes
M.O.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Equal rights, don't apply
Quata calls, aren't civil rights
Split the vote, split the state
Split the house, income rape
Doors are shut, need not apply
There's no one here to fight for my rights

Walk the straight line
Left then the right
I live the injusted
Of liberal insight

Motor vote, I say motorhead
I work a job, I don't lay in bed
Payed my dues, pay my way
I earned the right too have my say
I'm sick to death, of liberal views
The liberal fools are fucking you to





You'll know what I'm saying
When you walk in my shoes
