I wonder which town will be the first to go?
I wonder if all the tourists will be told the truth
about all the effort and lack thereof
to keep this afloat?
Yeah, I wonder
Will this become another tale for all the CEOs,
kings and queens to reap and sow?
This was collapsing long before those factories foreclosed
Consumed with "in god we trust"
The meaning was voided the moment we declared war
justified by fabled lies
And now we wonder
Oh yes, we wonder
And as history repeats itself
I am hopeful that today's ashes will not bloom tomorrow's empires
As history repeats itself
I am hopeful that today's ashes will stay buried in the earth
So this will not become another tale for all the CEOs,
kings and queens to reap and sow
