Lyrics

I heard a baby wailing
She wanted to be fed
I heard a grown man crying
He couldn't find the bread
I heard a fat man sigh
He couldn't figure why
He couldn't move his head
They couldn't move his bed
But he was already dead
I saw a poor man begging
He couldn't buy a meal
I saw his shoulders sagging
He didn't want to steal
I heard a tackler moan
He screamed it down the phone
He missed an easy trick
He missed his lunch with Mick
But I was feeling sick
I saw the mighty wave
It was a wondrous sight
The people jumped for joy
But then they ran in fright
They heard the crashing sound
They moved to higher ground
But there was no escape
The walls began to break
But it was all too late
I saw a nation dying
The vultures stripped it clean
We didn't move a muscle
The piggies got the cream
They moved it far away
To the land of Yoda May
The bankers rubbed their hands
The planner took the land
The dream had turned to sand
This life is far too short
The future can't be bought
We're living for today
Someday we're gonna pay
Must be another way
I don't believe in luck
We shouldn't ask above
This ain't no fine romance
We gotta take a chance
We gotta get up and dance
Why do we sit and wait?
It's not a twist of fate
Why all this apathy?
That what will be will be
Is that our destiny?
