You know and I know

 

You know and I know

 

These wars are fought for the fat cats

As the dogs are kicked around like strays

Big business thrives as mom and pop

Are thrown naked in the streets

 

You know and I know

 

Wall Street addicts run amok

With dollar sign bags

As we sit next to dried out fields

Hoping for rain

 

You know and I know

 

God may be in their words

But the devil is in the details

As children starve, but

Their bellies full with empty promises

 

You know and I know

 

There ain’t no white horses here

All the heroes have fled

There is nothing left, but

The decaying city of living dead

 

You know and I know

 

Our screams could fill this room

And it would make no difference at all

But we will try anyway

At least we try

 

You know and I know

 

Life is but a ride with ups, downs, peaks, valleys

We watch as old men squander their time

Why is it always the great ones

Who must exit far too soon?

 

You know and I know

 

This ol’ world is just a mirage

With one guy running the show

He sits in a box and pulls the levers

He even has one for the sun and moon

 

You know and I know

 

It’s about time the world

Catches up with what

 

You know and I know

Simple and to the point. Like a single man taking on a corrupt political machine.
