about

Some things never change although we all hope they will.
We do our best, we try to be the change...sometimes it all seems a little futile.
Do the despots, politicians, bastards and power-hungry pigs the world over really know how badly they suck at making our abundant world a better place?
Do these songs even matter? (Of course they do)
On the bright side, its an ongoing source of 'protest songwriting'.
Same plot, same characters, different actors.

lyrics

World for Sale

You keep putting down the weak
Congratulate the strong
All this power you've got flowing through your veins
Is the only drug you're on

From your office in the sky
You've stooped so low
How did you get so high?
Selling guns to the people you make peace with
You'll never wonder why
You've got a world for sale

Feeding bullets to the poor
You'll treat the symptom,
but you'll never find a cure
Growing anger as you hold our world to ransom
You'll never know for sure

This time is just the same
They're your rules
and you referee the game
The world you show
and the world you leave behind you
Are never quite the same
You've got a world for sale
A world for sale
You've got a world for sale

World for sale, you've got a world for sale
World for sale, you've got a world for sale
