Stone the crows if you've done it again, |
|
if I've told you once, told you a thousand times. |
|
Sometimes I am so convinced we're casting pearl amongst the swine. |
|
Don't ever let me hear you say this is the life we folks must lead. |
|
We shun the limelight, shun the glare, |
|
and the circus built on a bigot's creed. |
|
Heaven is a place I'v heard but we haven't been there yet, I fear. |
|
We may have opened pearly gates but sometimes hell stills steals in here. |
|
Don't ever let me hear you say this is the life we folks must lead. |
|
Do you think silver turns our locks? |
|
What gold do you think paves our streets? |
|
You say we're in a different world now, |
|
where money and love go hand in hand. |
|
But can't you see we share this town, |
|
so why should we fight on our native land? |
|
Can't you see we share this town, |
|
so why on earth should we tear it down? |
