Lyrics:

It was a scene where gold had rustedThey took the homes of the people who trustedThe one up high be he only lustedThings of material worth & genderDestroy all things that are pure & tenderThey took my homes and all of my gardensTo build a tall building people could work inAnd now my family lives in the streetWith lots of pride but nothing to eatThey took my dream and now you see what I meanAll just because he wanted all the greenThey all have abandoned their hopesThey've discarded their dreamsDeath to the corporateThe yuppie scum cloud up the earthShine people shineAnd never abandon your turfYou must say Oh No!When the depression hand licksWhen the depression foot kicksAnd you're locked in the dungeonWhen the keys gotten ridden ofSink in a tsunami of sadnessGrab onto the key of gladnessAnd don't abandon your hopes for no oneEven in the worst of situationsBecause in this societyWhich was not made for you or me SoThey all have abandoned their homesThey've discarded their dreamsLimitations and almost marshal lawAnd robots with badges and quick drawJust lights and glitter and garbage underneathAnd the raging oppressedWith razor sharp teethThey took him to the city jailHail the conformist, Hail the bureaucratsThem Ah chase them homelessThem Ah chase them homeless Rat Race City Rat Race CityI pray the Lord my soul to takeAnd the ground began to shakeAnd the whirlybirds of deathTo light atop the skyscrapersTo finish off all the rest
Fishbone They All Have Abandoned Their Hopes
