RICH WHITE GHETTO

Take a ride through the rich white ghetto and see things how they really are
Forget Rio and Soweto, here the poor only have one car
There's no children in the rich white ghetto, everyday the old folks mourn
Picket fences and the stench of Dettol, a thousand hoses douse a thousand lawns
The pigs don't go to the rich white ghetto, for curtain twitchers police themselves
They sit and watch the dust mites settle on the books upon the shelves

Let's go down to the rich white ghetto, where the cars look better upside down
Let's go down to the rich white ghetto, on the other side of town
Let's go down to the rich white ghetto, show the hatred that they spawn
Let's go down to the rich white ghetto, pour asphalt on their lawns
Let's go down to the rich white ghetto, let's go down to the rich white ghetto
Blasting punk, hardcore and metal, let's go down to the rich white ghetto

Surveillance cameras, electric fences
The silence relieves you of your senses
Double garages, gravelled drives
The products of successful lives
Stockpiled freezers, satellite TV
Soap opera land in 3D
Hybrid flowers, imported turf
A living TV hell on earth

Let's go down to the rich white ghetto, let's go down to the rich white ghetto
Blasting punk, hardcore and metal, let's go down to the rich white ghetto
Rich white ghetto

Let's go down to the rich white ghetto, let's go down to the rich white ghetto
Let's go down to the rich white ghetto, let's go down to the rich white ghetto
Let's go down to the rich white ghetto, let's go down to the rich white ghetto
Let's go down to the rich white ghetto, let's go down to the rich white ghetto
