"Salvation," karya Rancid, adalah lagu yang menyindir kesenjangan ekonomi yang mencolok. Berlatar belakang lingkungan yang miskin, narator lagu ini mengungkapkan kemarahan dan frustrasinya saat menyaksikan orang-orang kaya berpesta pora dalam kemewahan, sementara dia berjuang untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidup. Dengan lirik yang menggugah seperti "Come on baby won't you show me what you got / I want your salvation," lagu ini menyoroti kesenjangan sosial yang mengakar dan menuntut akuntabilitas dari mereka yang diuntungkan.
Salvation Lyrics
Rancid
Come on baby won't you show me what you got
I want your salvation
there's a neighborhood called blackhawk
where all the rich people hide
I was down on my luck working for the salvation army
The shelter is where i reside
Everyday we drive into blackhawk
and we pick up the offerings
Microwave, refrigerator for the suffering
Come on baby won't you show me what you got
I want your salvation
I can't believe these people live like kings
Hidden estates and diamond rings
I'm a rat out on a mission
I'm in your front yard under suspicion
Come on baby won't you show me what you got
I want your salvation
I want your salvation
there's a neighborhood called blackhawk
where all the rich people hide
I was down on my luck working for the salvation army
The shelter is where i reside
Everyday we drive into blackhawk
and we pick up the offerings
Microwave, refrigerator for the suffering
Come on baby won't you show me what you got
I want your salvation
I can't believe these people live like kings
Hidden estates and diamond rings
I'm a rat out on a mission
I'm in your front yard under suspicion
Come on baby won't you show me what you got
I want your salvation
