They All Have Abandoned Their Hopes Lyrics


I had a dream that I was disgusted
It was a scene where gold had rusted
They took the homes of the people who trusted
The one up high be he only lusted
Things of material worth and gender
Destroy all things that are pure and tender
They took my homes and all of my gardens
To build a tall building people could work in
And now my family lives in the street
With lots of pride but nothing to eat
They took my dream and now you see what I mean
All just because he wanted all the green
They all have abandoned their hopes
They all have abandoned their hopes
They all have abandoned their hopes
They’ve discarded their dreams
Death to the corporate
The yuppie scum cloud up the earth

Shine people shine and never abandon your turf
You must say, "Oh no"
When the depression hand licks
When the depression foot kicks
And you’re locked in the dungeon
When the keys gotten ridden of
Sink in a tsunami of sadness
Grab onto the key of gladness
And don’t abandon your hopes for no one
Even in the worst of situations
Because in this society
Which was not made for you or me so
They all have abandoned their homes
They all have abandoned their hopes
They all have abandoned their hopes
They’ve discarded their dreams
Limitations and almost marshal law
And robots with badges and quick draw
Just lights and glitter and garbage underneath
And the raging oppressed with razor sharp teeth
They took him to the city jail
Hail the conformist, hail the bureaucrats
Them ah, chase them homeless
Them ah, chase them homeless
Rat race city
Rat race city
Rat race city
I pray the Lord, my soul to take
And the ground began to shake
And the whirly birds of death
To light atop the skyscrapers, to finish off all the rest

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Fishbone is a long-lived, influential band, self-described as jazzy ska-gospel punk rock-reggae. The band was formed in 1979 in the ghettos of South Central Los Angeles, California, USA by Angelo Moore, also known as "Dr. Madd Vibe" (vocals, saxophones ranging from soprano to bass, and theremin); Kendall Jones (guitar); John Norwood Fisher (bass); Philip "Fish" Fisher (drums); "Dirty" Walter A. Kibby II (trumpet); and Chris Dowd (keyboards, trombone). The group came from the same Los Angeles scene that spawned the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane's Addiction.
