Towns become empty shells Hollow shops where nothing sells Everyone becomes trapped inside Safer indoors where you can hide Endless problems with job insecurity Too many looking work in obscurity Rich keep taking from the poor Often they still come looking for more Unemployed battle just to survive Battled and down but still alive Lodging in shelter with the rats Even if politicians live like fat cats Decay in a country that was proud Today and tomorrow, the same black cloud Innocent and guilty live together Meeting in clusters lasting forever Everywhere you turn the future is gone Stranded like some long forgotten song

420: These Troubled Times
Towns become empty shells Hollow shops where nothing sells Everyone becomes trapped inside Safer indoors where you can hide Endless problems with job insecurity Too many looking work in obscurity Rich keep taking from the poor Often they still come looking for more Unemployed battle just to survive Battled and down but still alive Lodging in shelter with the rats Even if politicians live like fat cats Decay in a country that was proud Today and tomorrow, the same black cloud Innocent and guilty live together Meeting in clusters lasting forever Everywhere you turn the future is gone Stranded like some long forgotten song
