Except Me
In this land of milk and honey
In this land of laundered money
From the streets of a burnt out city
To that big house where there ain't no pity
You crossed the bridge you swam the mile
You found a deck where the joker's wild
Now you got everything that you need
You got everything
Everything
Now I remember when we were children
In the concrete parks surrounded by buildings
How we used to laugh how we used to play
How we used to dream there come a day
Now you got money you got power
You got lovers by the hour
You got everything that you need
You got everything
Everything
Now on a night to dark for dreaming
You can hear the souls of the poets screaming
Crying out for mercy crying out for love
As the bombs rain down from above
You got connections you got a chauffeur
You got a safe trip across the border
You got everything that you need
You got every thing
Everything
Except me
