Dejected concrete jungles

That never seem to end

Through complex tower structures

Aimlessly they transcend

Over forgotten ghettos

They won't show on maps

Inequal distribution of wealth

Coincidental perhaps?

I tried to make my connection

In a world that shows no affection

America's busy sleeping

I saw divisions

In our undivided land

With power unforgiving

Fueled by greed it can't withstand

It's self-inflicted dreams of hope

Laughing in our faces

Getting fixed w/ it's own dope

Sponsored by class races

I tried to make my connection

In a world that shows no affection

America's busy sleeping

Sleep it off

Everything will go away

-Sleep it off again-

Shop till you drop

And everything will be okay

-Sleep it off again-

Party till you puke in your comfortable houses

-Sleep it off again-

The streets are paved with the negligence of thousands

Sleep it off again

Looked into desperate eyes

Unfulfilled abandoned lives

Heartless city after city

Of a common man in a not so

Promising land

With very narrow means

To urgent human needs
