Once upon a time, in a land so true
The land of milk and honey, for me and you
Now you're just another figure in a long long line
And then they wonder why, there's a rising rate of crime, they say...
(chorus)
Can't spare you the time
I'm busy can't you see?
Can't spare you the time
You're just another beggar to me
All of the good times, have been and gone
Life's just a struggle, yeah to carry on
They got all the money, but they won't create no jobs
They're bringing in poverty, and giving money to the cops, they say...
(chorus)
