THEY ALL HAVE ABANDONED THEIR HOPES


I had a dream that I was disguted
It was a scene where the gold had rusted
They took the homes of people who trusted
The one up high be he only lusted
Things of material worth and gender
Destroy all things that are pure and tender
They took my home and all of my gardens
To build a tall building people could work in

And now my family lives in the street
With lots of proud but nothing to eat
They took my dream and now you see what I mean
All just because he wanted all the green

They all have abandoned their hopes
They all have abandoned their hopes and discarded their dreams

Death to the corporate
The Yuppie scum cloud up the earth
Shine people, shine
And never abandon your turf
You must say oh no !
When the depression hand licks
The depression foot kicks
And you're locked in the dungeon when the keys gotten ridden of
Sink in a tsunami of Sadness
Grab onto the key of Gladness
And don't abandon your hopes for no one
Even in the worst of situation
Because in this society,
which was not made for you and me,
so...

They all have abandoned their hopes
They all have abandoned their hopes and discarded their dreams...

Limitations and almost marshal law
And robots with badges and quick draw
Just lights and glitter and garbage underneath
And the raging opressed
With razor sharp teeth

They took him to the city jail
Hail the conformist, hail the bureaucrats
Them ah chase the homeless
Oh them ah chase the homeless
Rat Race City, Rat Race City
I pray the Lord my soul to take
And the ground began to shake !
And the whirlybirds of death
To light atop the skycrapers
To finish all of the rest...
