​Somewhere not so far away from here
There’s people making plans
Somewhere not so far away from here
There’s money changing hands
Somewhere not so far away
A poisoned river runs beneath a clouded sun
Into an empty ocean
Somewhere not so far away from here 
There’s a policy contrived
Somewhere not so far away from here
For other peolple’s lives
Somewhere not so far away
They watch the tanks roll by 
and kiss their sons goodbye
Without emotion
Take the profit pass the blame
Masters of the corporate game
Hostages to fortune and to fear
Take the dollar curse the heart
Fact and Fiction world’s apart
Somewhere not so far away from here
