Let me tell you a story About life in the land of hope and glory They put us all together in this ghetto land And they wonder why the kids never understand Well I've never been a military man But I can tell you now, it's the same old plan You're running out of steam, Just like an old machine But soon the tide will turn It's gonna get better, getting better Getting stronger every day
Across these wastelands of old I never knew we'd lost control Across these wastelands of old I call my home Here I stand in this high rise wonderland You can talk about the state of economy But I know where I'd rather be And I hope and pray we can tear down these walls For a better way If you want to change this heart of mine I'll meet you down on the frontline
