Lyrics
An unforgiving sun rises to break another day,
And the shadows dissolve into a sea of decay,
As winds whip across the wreckage of cardboard beds,
Taunting the faithless souls abandoned to the dead…
Prisoners of the street sentenced to life without parole,
And the shooting hunger pains of internal bullet holes,
Where any sense of dignity is stripped to the bone,
As the eyes of wary strangers scream 'leave me alone'…
Money for everything but poverty,
In the slow motion violence
Of government assisted suicide
Bundles of rags fight for scraps with neighbourhood strays,
In a survival of the fittest for any leftover buffets,
Where emptiness fills the void for the weak and slight,
Washed out in the sad, sad glow of neon candlelight…
Money for everything but poverty,
In the slow motion violence
Of government assisted suicide,
government assisted suicide
nobody cares if nobody cries,
When you're down to zero,
In the slow motion violence,
It's a world of empty promises and sunken dreams,
Full of burned out lives already apart at the seams,
Where freedom is lost in the crush of images and sounds,
While another lonely sunset waits to be shot down
Money for everything but poverty,
In the slow motion violence
nobody cares if nobody cries,
When you're down to zero,
In the slow motion violence,
