Battalions of bedlam boys Hit the town every night Clenched up fist, drunken tongue Bound to cause a fight Outsiders in their home town bars With the blacked out windows and the burned out cars Kids drinking under the moon lit stars No money in the bank When the hole's closed And the black stuff goes All that's left is d** and holes From the high lights to the low lights No longer hear swans sing No longer cranes up in the sky They crashed and fell to earth And the kids kick 'round with nothing to do It's been their right from birth Oh, how you gonna turn back time? (Money) Not what we're thinking of Nothing but a straight up lie, come on Come on, how you gonna give back pride? (Money) Not what we're dreaming of Nothing but a straight up lie From the picket lines, to the wicked times We just can't breath Every man needs his shelter Every man has got his own needs Look to you for answers Your motives all we found
When the coffers coughed into an empty trough We're gonna march upon your town Oh, how you gonna turn back time? (Money) Not what we're thinking of Nothing but a straight up lie, come on Come on, how you gonna give back pride? (Money) Not what we're dreaming of Nothing but a straight up lie How deep you gonna cut When you're cutting through the bone? How much you gonna push? 'Til a man can lose his home? See the needs of many But you're only pleasing your self How long the average man Gonna feel the discontent? Oh, how you gonna turn back time? (Money) Not what we're thinking of Nothing but a straight up lie Come on, how you gonna give back pride? (Money) Not what we're dreaming of Nothing but a straight up lie Oh, how you gonna turn back time? (Money) Not what we're thinking of Nothing but a straight up lie Come on, how you gonna give back pride? (Money) Not what we're dreaming of Nothing but a straight up lie
