“Charlotte Is Vile”, an obvious pun on the name of the band’s stomping grounds, serves as a hymn for anyone feeling disenfranchised and alienated by the city.
lyrics
Plant your seed, but don’t expect it to grow,
Where your dreams are pummeled by the undertow,
The sacred structure keeps the city alive,
But you have to be its slave just to survive!
Sacrifice your will on the alter of Bread,
The rich stay rich while the poor lay dead,
You have no choice but to become listless,
And condescension rules with an iron fist!
I hear the call, (DAMI: I HEAR THE CALL!)
The call to my exile,
Charlotte is vile, I’m not welcome home!
Too much to risk for destiny,
When I can’t see the steps to where I wanna be,
So I keep on taking this dead end road,
Every day I die with the redundant load!
(AH) I can’t see the end,
(AH) I can’t see the end,
There’s gotta be, There’s gotta be an end!
I hear the call, (DAMI: I HEAR THE CALL!)
The call to my exile,
Charlotte is vile, I’m not welcome home!
I can see, I can see the lies,
I can see the lies behind her smile,
I can see, I can see the lies,
I can see the lies behind her smile,
I can see, I can see the lies,
I can see the lies behind her smile,
I can see, I can see the lies,
I can see the lies behind her smile!
I can see the lies behind her smile,
Charlotte, Charlotte is vile!
I can see the lies behind her smile,
Charlotte, Charlotte is vile!
I can see the lies behind her smile,
Charlotte, Charlotte is vile!
I can see the lies behind her smile,
Charlotte, Charlotte is vile!
I hear the call, (DAMI: I HEAR THE CALL!)
The call to my exile,
Charlotte is vile, I’m not welcome home!
I hear the call, (DAMI: I HEAR THE CALL!)
The call to my exile,
Charlotte is vile, I’m not welcome home!
