With A Vengeance

karma comes back with a vengeance the oil spill laughs in the bay everything's in spin, regret, regret but this chance might not out-live the day this chance might not out-live the day and we find we're so free, we can never do the right thing revised version of the truth for sale at the news stand there's no jobs we head east, there's no hope so we flee Brand new nation rising up from the ocean dregs hope, hope, from the depths hope, hope, when there's nothing left congress bails out the companies who bought them out long ago while tyrants dine at white tables and farmers die in the snow millions work at their desk jobs while millions more starve at home you can't have a brighter future unless they have more control but karma comes back with a vengeance and burns down the hospital lets build a new mall, add some suburbs to the sprawl give them something new and they forget hope, hope, with a vengeance hope, hope, is not for sale today hope, hope, carries a death sentence hope, hope, will someday fade, away
