There's a breeze that's blowin' in from the land

Instead of salt air all we breathe in is sand


Crippled the cloud that once brought the rain


Good job, now we'll never see our coasts again




But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods


Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched

But those of us, those of us who forget where we're from


Create now this hell where no devil could spawn




Take me back, take me back


To the way life used to be




A whisper's now sayin' what words used to speak


Starve must the child, hungry sex on TV


For no act of contrition will pardon the soul

The damage now glistens, see how it glows





But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods

Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched


Those of us, those of us who forget where we're from


Create now this hell where no devil could spawn




Take me back, take me back


To the way life used to be




Yesterday is better than it is today


And today will be better, tomorrow they say

We don't want what you know but we know what we want


That's live and let live, we're all different that counts




But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods


Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched


And those of us, those of us who forget where we're from

Create now this hell where no devil could spawn





Dark is the shallow man, proud without pride

Worn out comes the welcome from a truth that never lies


Weep now for the tear, cold on the face

So come down from your heaven, Lord


Let me show you hell on earth



Take me back


To the way life's never been
