There is
violence in the streets
With the
children on their feet
The idols
that were worshiped all are gone
The party
on the left
Is startling
the right
There is
no use in talking in this fight
Like birds
and fish, we have no resolution
We lost
our homes to the new prostitution
Can’t swim
or fly in the rain going down
Hiding for
another day
Won’t make
it go away
Better fight
back now and stay
Don’t get
fooled again! *
