Stone the crows if you ve done it again
if I ve told you oncetold 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 limelightshun the glare
and the circus built on a bigot s creed.
Heaven is a place I v heard but we haven t been there yetI 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?
