I had a dream that I was disgusted It was a scene where gold had rusted They took the homes of the people who trusted The one up high be he only lusted Things of material worth & gender Destroy all things that are pure & tender They took my homes 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 pride 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 [Repeat: x 3] They`ve 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 When 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 situations Because in this society Which was not made for you or me so They all have abandoned their homes [Repeat: x 3] They`ve 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 oppressed With razor sharp teeth They took him to the city jail Hail the conformist, Hail the bureaucrats Them Ah chase them homeless [Repeat: x 2] Rat Race City [Repeat: x 3] I pray the Lord my soul to take And the ground began to shake And the whirlybirds of death To light atop the skyscrapers To finish off all the rest
