lyrics

There’s an old man in an overcoat
Too scared to use the heat
Cuz the best thing for free markets
Is let the dominant compete
The woman walks and ponders
Gang grafitti on the walls
While the addict on the overpass
Weighs his odds to end it all

Third party, fire and theft
Survey the damage, see what’s left
Lives of quiet desperation
Third party, fire and theft
Third party

The young girl switches channels
She can’t bear to watch the news
Cuz it tells her that her future
Is menial jobs, unemployment queues
The rain beats on the rooftops
But it doesn’t shift the grime
While hooded youth in doorways
Discuss fictitious petty crime

The politician tells them
Their society’s in disrepair
And the breakdown in their morals
Is unconnected to his affair
Then he quickly shifts attention
To the theatre of foreign wars
With a hand-picked crowd behind him
Awaiting cues for staged applause
