Tractor

(album: 2 x 2 - 1997)

Is this a modern taste? Or is this a post-modern need?

An old man walks across the ruins
Looking at what is left
His land was stolen in a flash
And no one gives a damn
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

A woman down and screams so loud
Nothing she can do
Her children cry, her baby dry
Mom, what should we do?

Oh, where they would stay tonight?
Tell me why they have to get rid of
Show me how we build the city ground
Lay waste to all around

They're living on the edge of town
Searching to survive
Skid row must be destroyed
Destruction all around

Oh, where they would stay tonight?
Tell me why they have to get rid of
Show me how we build the city ground
Lay waste to all around, round, round, round, round, round
Oh, where they would stay tonight?
Tell me why they have to get rid of
Show me how we build the city ground
Lay waste to all around

Oh, where they would stay tonight?
Tell me why they have to get rid of
Show me how we build the city ground
Lay waste to all around, round, round, round, round, round
Oh, where they would stay tonight?
Tell me why they have to get rid of
Show me how we build the city ground
Lay waste to all around, round, round, round, round, round
Oh, where they would stay tonight?
Tell me why they have to get rid of
Show me how we build the city ground
Lay waste to all around, round, round, round, round, round
Oh, where they would stay tonight?
Tell me why they have to get rid of
Show me how we build the city ground
Lay waste to all around, round, round, round, round, round

Do we give a hand to the needy? No, we don't
So sir, this is not about how to make money
This is about responsibility to each member of our society
Please, give them a little mercy
