lyrics

In the sea of humanity they’re the slow moving stream
Ghosts that haunt the graveyard of broken promises and dreams
The shopping cart brigade and their second hand parade
That greet each morning empty handed
“Hey mister, can you spare to change?
Before you answer, can you afford to look away?”
This is my city, this is my home
A little piece of history to call my own
It’s the dark side of ambition
The other side of the coin we invest in
When we forget our own
The shape of our denial paves the way for our descent
Between what we mean and what we said
The make believe we tell ourselves so we can sleep
Through the nightmares and the terrors that walk our streets
The lines we’ve drawn for right and wrong
That lets one get weaker so another gets strong
This is our country, this is our home
A little piece of history to call our own
The dark side of ambition
The other side of the coin we invest in
When we forget our own
There’s only one story
Only one, only one story
