about

This is actually about some oil workers in the Alberta Oil sands.
Canadian Natural Resources Limited laid off some people in winter and as they were waiting for their charter buses to arrive and take them home.. They were told to find their own way home. Look most people know that corporations don't care about their low tier employees and most people know how destructive cultivating land for oil is. this is just a song about how I feel about the whole scenario.

lyrics

So angry and alone while you stand out in the cold
'cause the voice in your head says you should have always known
but the words that you speak are preaching a righteous tone
And folding to the greed because who can fucking wait?
Yeah I've always understood that the money would be great.
It's sad when the deals done, worse accepting a new fate.

Well that's what you get when you go and shake the devil's hand
Reclaiming what you think it means to be a man
You put your faith in something that you knew was wrong in the end
So "So long my friend" and why are you surprised that they left you all

behind, that they left you all behind.

And you can blame the world for your twisted sense of view
but in the end the ax is on you
And all I can feel is a sense of loss the homes you destroyed for a

minuscule cost you won't see the world crying for you.

So tell me how so many men could be so wrong?
Well that's what you get when you go and shake the devil's hand
Reclaiming what you think it means to be a man
You put your faith in something that you knew was wrong in the end
So "So long my friend" and why are you surprised that they left you all

behind, that they left you all behind.
And that's what you get when you shake the devil's hand, so proud to be

a man
And that's what you get when you sell out yourself, when you sell out

your life
And tell me how so many men could be so wrong?
And tell me how so many men could be so wrong?
