Today

Today we stand

As one broken unibody

Thanks to the greed

Husbands and wives parting as two

Rich and the famous'  new mansions of the gutter

With their wealth falling through the drain

Now crying with their diamond tears

Sobbing with their disbelief

All their heads falling over their scrapped heels.

Poor becoming the new in-crowd

We glance and say

Your now one of us now how does it feel

Now its time to face the world

and notice the sense of reality

listen to all the broken lives

Feel the sense of lost to lost

Witness the tears of a breaking family

We arise and chant

Your now one of us now how does it feel
