Take a tube train, strike yourself dumb
wandering on the plain on the blazing sun
cry the lizards tears
lying on the sand, feel the breeze from Algiers
Sing to the sea, from you balcony
the souls down on the street crawl on their knees
hear the lizard speak
Don't let the writing on the roof spoil your view
tell yourself each day - nothing can be changed
and nothing can be changed or undone
hard wired to fear
destitution near
this is not Utopia - move on!
The goats milk sours in the hot sunshine
we ponder hear, for hours, the illusion of time
Poor man living in a rich man's home
the same rich man - renting out a house he doesn't own
it's dog eat dog - it's gonna eat itself for sure
at such a cost in this cathedral of the poor
and they say that it's supposed to trickle down
trickle down
down, down, down
Tell yourself each day - nothing can be changed
just so nothing can be changed or undone
no-one to steer
a free-marketeer
this is not Utopia - move on!
An invisible hand makes it all for good
it isn't true, but it will do to delude us fools
and we gladly play our part
but in Guel I stopped to dwell on the lie of fine art
