"There must be some way out of here,"
said the joker to the thief
"There's too much confusion,
I can't get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine,
plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth"

"No reason to get excited," the thief,
he kindly spoke
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I,
we've been through that, and this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late"

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl

@XxRusty96xX True true

@DramaKingMan0 but you dont have songs like these that go mainstream nowadays. True, music has always been like that, but today it gets to the point where modern music has lost its meaning. At least for me that is.

@HDMusik14 Communist don't can lose? Communism is like a cockaroach, just when ya think ya killed it, there it is a living body with no head and the other way around. Then there's more in the walls somewhere. Once its infested an area too completely, nothing left to do but leave it alone or burn it to the ground

@teospek Is that a statement or a demand?
