Well, the year it's 1991   It seems that freedom is dead and gone   The power of the rich is held by few   They keep the young paralyzed   Educated by your lies   Keep the old ones happy with the news      Tell the singer not to song a song   Tell the poet that she's wrong   In the courts you'll win the case with lies   'Cause you sold them down the river-o      Do I belong to some ancient race   I like to walk in ancient places   These are things that I can understand   Well, I don't believe in your modern way   Don't care about the things you say   Your policies have failed the test of time   'Cause you sold them down the river-o      Now, now in a land not far away   There's men in prison because they say   The color of your skin is not a question   Did you rally to their side?   No, you sat back and let them die   Don't know how you get to sleep at night   At night      Do I belong to some ancient race   I like to walk in ancient places   These are things that I can understand   Well, I don't believe in your modern way   Don't care about the things you say   Your policies have failed the test of time   Hey      Your money market goes round and round   The pound goes up, the dollar goes down   When the [Incomprehensible] you come down   You need the power for your new towns   You get scared when the night comes down   Won't you tell me where it is that we are bound?      Do I belong to some ancient race   I like to walk in ancient places   These are things that I can understand   Well, I don't believe in your modern way   Don't care about the things you say   Your policies have failed the test of time   'Cause you sold them down the river-o
