Testo The Stolen City - Moon Walker
Testo della canzone The Stolen City (Moon Walker), tratta dall'album The Stolen City - Single
Traffic lights and parking cones
Picket fences, family homes
The police around all the time
Don't need em cause we got no crime
No dirty money in the vault
At least no dignitaries know
Keep profits high and margins low
And keep em in a stranglehold
Don't need no culture
We got our own
Keep our children centerfold
At least that's what the picture shows
Keep education on the roll
To sell more houses, bought ours so low
Keep all our kids on medication
Ensure they don't go misbehaving
They say the problem's in our history
What came before us, can't just go missing
We've done our praying
Please don't go digging
Set fire to the village wall
What else ya build a city on?
If not a pile of broken bones
Don't need these people
We got our own
We'll let the dead do all the wishing
So we can start a brand new system
We'll forge their headstones on our floor
And stomp until our feet are sore
Red brick buildings ain't got no soul
Don't need your future
Already took it
Turned out the lights and kissed your families
You woke up in a soulless city
We try our best to move along
By that I mean
Wipe your existence
From off the slate of history's walls
Can't let your moment tarnish ours
It pays to play the game of business
Choose who gets pardoned, who gets evicted
White picket fences and broken homes
Force-fed religion and armed with stones
We still reside in your soulless city
