Dejected concrete jungles That never seem to end Through complex tower structures Aimlessly they transcend Over forgotten ghettos They won't show on maps Inequal distribution of wealth Coincidental perhaps? I tried to make my connection In a world that shows no affection America's busy sleeping I saw divisions In our undivided land With power unforgiving Fueled by greed it can't withstand It's self-inflicted dreams of hope Laughing in our faces Getting fixed w/ it's own dope Sponsored by class races I tried to make my connection In a world that shows no affection America's busy sleeping Sleep it off Everything will go away -Sleep it off again- Shop till you drop And everything will be okay -Sleep it off again- Party till you puke in your comfortable houses -Sleep it off again- The streets are paved with the negligence of thousands Sleep it off again Looked into desperate eyes Unfulfilled abandoned lives Heartless city after city Of a common man in a not so Promising land With very narrow means To urgent human needs
