THE PIPE WAS PAST TO THE NEXT WANKER YET ALL THE TABACCO WAS GONE

If this coin brought us so much

why do I see the sorrow it forced upon us?

 

If this currency brought forth so much prosperity

Then why are we sinking?

Damn what the hell were they thinking?

 

Half the city’s up for sale

Privatisation killed rationality

And the corrupt hands grab whatever they can

Bonus here bonus there

Unbearable prices for the common man

 

They laugh at us from their high glass towers

As our parents lie in their own waste

Once a week they get to hit the showers

They never could’ve dreamt this would be their fate

 

It’s the same old song:

Economic imperialism at the end always falters

Hubris and arrogance brought Alexander to the ground

Did the Caesars in

Melancholy spills over the brim

 

So what if it all falls apart?

We humans have the power in our hearts

To make a brand new start
