Madman's DreamI saw cities swallowed by the oceanI saw children crying in the streets Hundreds stranded on the overpass Bodies rotting in the brutal heat Cries for help fell on deaf ears 5 days passed and no one came Pointing fingers while the people died I saw a nation hang it's head in shame CHORUS Have I awakened Deep inside some madman's dream? This is not my country This is not what I believe Have I awakened Deep inside some madman's dream? I can barely recognize The place this used to be Anarchy in the empty streets The law dissolved like so much smoke A dying prayer for the humanity That washed away when the levees broke (CHORUS) A year went by and nothing changed No justice left for the destitute Abandoned cities, abandoned souls Tomorrow's dream is yesterday's news (CHORUS) |
