Once upon a time in a faraway land   Lived a villain called Flash   He was such a wicked man   He terrorized the people   He broke arms and crushed hands   He ruled with a fist and he purchased all the land      Then he plowed up the fields   And cut down the trees   For property speculation   And he did it all for a pot of gold   And for his own preservation      The people were scared   They didn't know where to turn   They couldn't see any salvation   From the hoods and the spivs   And the crooked politicians   Who were cheating and lying to the nation      Save the fields and the trees   And give them back to the nation   Bring the government down   A new leader must be found   For the sake of preservation      He said he did it to help us all   And he did it for the good of the nation   But he did it for a pot of gold   And for his own preservation      Preservation   Preservation   Preservation      When money is evil   And power is corrupt   The devil moves in and takes over   Mr Flash broke his word   And now he's got to pay   For his crimes and his lies and his evil ways      And it's gonna get rough   And it's gonna get tough   It's a crime and a sin that no one can win   In a story of self preservation
