One day you’ll find out – just like I did
It will make you shout - right out aloud
Life was so much better then, when we were young Where has all our freedom gone, where is the fun? It belongs to the rich, the one per cent
Who in their greed swallowed our pride
While they pushed up the rent.
Way back then I was naïve, naïve and green
We all thought that flaunting wealth was quite obscene
We were all so concerned with love and peace
We forgot to watch how fortunes increased
And the government sacrificed our souls
To multi-national control and their stranglehold on life, our lives.
And the government. When will we learn?
Sacrificed our souls, When will we learn?
To multi-national control By our mistakes?
And the government Who was it said? Sacrificed our souls,
Who was it said
To multi-national control
