people power: the levies broke, The homes dont float, We cant trust the gov't folk, And murder he wrote, Murder, on the proud and the free, Have nowhere to go, But now without our family, We need inspiration, dont you know? What is to become of us, To become of modern man? How can we live with this? And not take a stand???
