lyrics
sinking upwards
upstream from the shitfactory
the struggle drowns out all the irony
special little flower
born in a compost heap
grows stronger by the hour
roots and privilege run so deep
special little flower
born in a pile of shit
says it‘s not in her power
that her place is sunlit
special little flower
despises fertilizer
afraid others outgrew her
her fear had turned to anger
she says the slums look dignified
from atop the drainage pipe
