    FISHBONE

    Give A Monkey A Brain And He'll Swear He's The Center Of The Universe 1993 ©

    They All Have Abandoned Their Hopes

    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
    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
    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
    Them Ah chase them 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 skyscrapers

    To finish off all the rest
