Skyclad - Land of Rising Slum текст песни

Show me a politician
Who's a man we can trust
And if I ever meet him,
Then I think I'll have him stuffed.
Look out the window -
See not one happy face.
The only splash of colour's
The graffiti around the place.
It's hard to even crawl
With your back up against the wall.

[Refrain:]
I find it hard to sleep at night,
I feel that the worst is yet to come,
Social helter-skelter, ride
The downward spiral has begun.
Are some people just born bad -
Or is it how we all become?
Human termites driven mad
In the concrete mound of a rising slum.

The people who are dark
Fear the people who are fair.
And hippies live in terror
Of the guys who have no hair.
The saddest thing of all -
What I really find grim,
Is we haven't yet noticed
What a mess we're all in.
It's hard to even crawl -
Now your back's up against the wall.

[Refrain]

The "Whether Man" says that
The outlook's not great,
A few outbreaks of murder
With some isolated rape.
I ask my doctor his advice,
This is what he says -
Get yourself some cancer, boy,
Before you die of AIDS.
It's hard to even crawl
With your backs up against the wall.

[Refrain]
