The Forgotten Lot

broken dreams contort
less than human
conquered by hurt
evil was the plan
razor blades
laced in bourbon
distance shades
another lonely son

give me truth
worth my weight
without proof
another charade

falling fast tonight
can�t make money
government tight
robbing us honey
reduced to dust
votes are bought
raping our trust
the forgotten lot

amend these words
murder constitution
flightless birds
chained in prostitution
carve the flesh
vultures reaping
fancy in dress
forever creeping

give me truth
worth my weight
without proof
another charade

falling fast tonight
can�t make money
government tight
robbing us honey
reduced to dust
votes are bought
raping our trust
the forgotten lot

can�t breathe
constant rock
no reprieve
beyond shock
sacrifice love
dangling rope
another dove
choking on hope

give me truth
worth my weight
without proof
another charade

falling fast tonight
can�t make money
government tight
robbing us honey
reduced to dust
votes are bought
raping our trust
the forgotten lot
