Lyrics
The rich get richer
The poor get the picture
The bombs never hit you when you're down so low
Some got pollution
Some revolution
There must be some solution but I just don't know
The bosses want decisions
The workers need ambitions
There won't be no collisions whey they move so slow
Nothing ever happens
Nothing ever matters
No one ever tells me so what am I to know
You wouldn't read about it
Read about it
Just another incredible scene
There's no doubt about it
The hammer and sickle
The news is at a trickle
The commisars are fickle but the stockpile grows
Bombers keeping coming
Engines softly humming
The stars and stripes are running for their own big show
Another little flare up
Storm brewed in a tea cup
Imagine any mix up and the lot would go
Nothing ever happens
Nothing ever matters
No one ever tells me so what I am to know
You wouldn't read about it
Read about it
One unjust, ridiculous steal
Ain't no doubt about it
You wouldn't read about it
Read about it
Just another particular deal
There's no doubt about it
