Lyrics
The planet all in space is wheelin'
Through night the refugees are stealin'
The neighbors all have gone
The tramps are campin' on the lawn
They had to tranquilize your mother
We're all afraid of one another
O McMansions of yesteryear
And not one security camera shed a tear?
Time was I thought that we could live like a king
We thought that towers never tumbled
Now winter's comin' and the cold's gonna sting
AndI forgot what to remember
A union organizer dyin'
A new world order baby cryin'
That's how it all began
Then the orders came down from high command
Those were the days, my friend
Now he's got the whole world in his hands
