lyrics

Is there anybody out there, hears the voice of the man on the street?
He's been walking through his own nightmare
now even the pavement doesn't feel safe under his feet

Cos they're gunna take what you've got
and sell the damn lot
gunna fill up their pockets with silver and gold
They're gunna take what you've got left
and put you on the shelf
so don't you ever get sick and don't you ever, ever grow old.

He's an honest man, far from perfect
and he always works so hard to earn his keep
while the greed of those above remains unchecked
and the life his fathers' made slips out of reach.

Cos they're gunna take what you've got
and sell the damn lot
gunna fill up their pockets with silver and gold
They're gunna take what you've got left
and put you on the shelf
so don't you ever get sick and don't you ever, ever grow old.

and we know where you live
and we own your pride
we'll tell you just about anything
to have you on our side
we'll cover our trail
with lies upon lies
then tell you the truth
with the sun in your eyes.

Cos they're gunna take what you've got
and sell the damn lot
gunna fill up their pockets with silver and gold
They're gunna take what you've got left
and put you on the shelf
so don't you ever get sick and don't you ever, ever grow old.

Is there anybody out there?
is there anybody out there?
