Charles Bukowski - The riots lyrics
[Charles Bukowski - The riots lyrics]
I've watched this city burn twice
In my lifetime and the most notable thing
Was the arrival of the politicians in the
Aftermath proclaiming the wrongs of
The system and demanding new
Policies toward and for the poor
Nothing was corrected last time
Nothing will be corrected this time
The poor will remain poor
The unemployed will remain so
The homeless will remain homeless
And the politicians
Fat upon the land, will live very well
In my lifetime and the most notable thing
Was the arrival of the politicians in the
Aftermath proclaiming the wrongs of
The system and demanding new
Policies toward and for the poor
Nothing was corrected last time
Nothing will be corrected this time
The poor will remain poor
The unemployed will remain so
The homeless will remain homeless
And the politicians
Fat upon the land, will live very well
