When it all comes down the line   And the lights they turn to greed   And you race off with your tyres screaming   Rolling thunder   And the people choke with poison   Children cry in fear   But you've got your fast bullet   One way ticket outta here      Fall on your knees today   And pray the world will mend it's ways   Get to your feet again   Refuges from the heartbreak and the pain      In the cities in the streets   There's a tension you can feel   Breaking strain is fast approaching   Guns and riots   Politicians gamble and lie to save their skins   And the press get fed the scapegoats   Public enema number one      A million network slaves   In an advertising new age   I don't need a crystal ball to sell ya   Your children have more brains   Than your drug infested remains   California dreaming as the earth dies screaming
