Millennium Blues Lyrics by Eric Stewart

Viva la Difference

2009

I heard a baby wailin', she wanted to be fed
I heard a grown man cryin', he couldn't find the bread
I heard a fat man sigh, he couldn't figure why
He couldn't move his head, they couldn't move his bed
But he was already dead
I saw a poor man beggin', he couldn't buy a meal
I saw his shoulders saggin', he didn't want to steal
I heard a tycoon moan, he's screamin' down the phone
He missed an easy trick, he missed his lunch with Mick
But I was feelin' sick
I saw the mighty wave, it was a wondrous sight
The people jumpеd for joy, but then they ran in fright
They hеard the crashin' sound, they moved to higher ground, but there was no escape
The walls began to break, but it was all too late
I saw a nation dyin', the vultures stripped it clean
We didn't move a muscle, the piggies got the cream
They moved it far away, to the land of yodel-ey
The bankers rubbed their hands
The famine took the land, the dream had turned to sand
This life is far too short, the future can't be bought
We're livin' for today, someday we're gonna pay
Must be another way
I don't believe in luck, we shouldn't pass the buck
This ain't no fine romance, we've got to take a chance
We've got to get up and dance
Why do we sit and wait? It's not a twist of fate
Why all this apathy that what will be will be?
Is that our destiny?
