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
