From the recording Could Have Been Beautiful
Lyrics
at your mercy
stopped pretending
cant live
with it
this way
democracy
foolin
no one
want to lead us..
give us
give us something
something to respect
we ...
just a bunch of bums
..mutts and working slobs ..
we know .. .
forgive
lifestyles of the rich and famous
we all got
luxury estate dot com
and sotherbys too
laugh
how sick
must be
have so much money
to throw away
any silly stupid thing
houses with 12 bathrooms
8 unused bedrooms
and double infinity pools
got the message
your money
is an infinity pool
probably dont care
want to lead us..
give us something
something to respect
let us make
our little livings..
build our houses
with help from the Home Depot
enjoy enjoy
your perfect world
golf course and country club ..
so so perfect .. so well maintained
the cities crumble
can do perfect...
when you try ..
imagine if you
country club tried
world would look quite different
world would look quite different
amazing yachts
got some amazing yachts
everyone's amazed
so ..go ....
yachting for the summer
Southern Mediterranean
..high quality drugs
and life extension therapies
while your doin all that
while your doin all that
perhaps
..you could ..
maybe
just leave us alone
..to our little lives
our peaceful little religion
based on forgiveness..
use that little clause
against us
we noticed
our naive beliefs
in government
by the people
for the people
leave us ..that
that little bit
and maybe just maybe
you could lead us..
you could be ..
uncorrupted
want respect
act respectable
one of the few things ..
you cant buy
this isnt a rebel song
no ..this isnt a rebel song
probably should be
..a rebel song
this isnt a rebel song
not yet
