Ideas? No, just raked up shit What a clever thing to do We must strive on for what we know is right We know all too well there's no end in sight But human nature is still on our side as the politicians Fall into landslide we're out on the street, Feeling the beat of the heart's in anger at the upper crust Elite who don't hear us scream or beg for a halt or Their society aborts 1981 President Reagan and the pope face assassins' Bullets and escape with their lives.
