Discover the story of the song > Slumlord – bomb the music industry!

The song is about the protagonist living in a really bad apartment, with mold, mice, and no hot water or working toilet. Their landlord is terrible (called a 'slumlord') and won't fix anything, but the protagonist doesn't care because they're leaving soon to find a better place. They won't pay rent until things are fixed and they'll tell the slumlord to leave them alone.
