The year is 1991, it seems that freedom's dead
and gone
The power of the rich is held by
few
Keep the young ones paralized, educated by
your lies
Keep the old ones happy with the
news
Tell the singer not to singthis
song
Tell the poet that she's wrong
And in
the courts you'll win the case with lies
Cos
you sold them down the river-o

Do I belong
to some ancient race
I like to walk in ancient
places
These are the things that I can
understand
I don't believe in your modern
way
Don't care about the things you
say
Your policies have failed the test of
time
Cos you sold them down the
river-o

Now in a land not far away,
there's men in prison because they say
The
colour of your skin is not a question
Did you
rally to their side?
No, you sat back and let
them die
I don't know how you get to sleep at
night

CHORUS

Your money market goes
round and round
The pound goes up, the dollar
goes down
Another South American forest cut
down
You need the power for your new
towns
Cos you get scared when the night comes
down
Won't you tell me where it is that we are
bound?

CHORUS
