|
The tables were clean where the fine foods had been |
|
The servants had turned all the lights off and left for the day |
|
What could I do |
|
The limousines gone with the wealth and the fame |
|
Of the people who lived with a view from their window |
|
That we never knew |
|
We all know that the time for the wealthy is through |
|
The key to the future is held by the people like you |
|
People like me - people like you |
|
Come on out if you're hiding in there |
|
I'm looking for you |
|
To follow the call to a masquerade ball |
|
Where the players would never be seen with their masks off |
|
A place in the sun |
|
A legacy there for the whole world to share |
|
A splendour to pamper the eyes of the rich |
|
Paid with a gun |
|
We all know that the time for the wealthy is through |
|
The key to the future is held by the people like you |
|
People like me - people like you |
|
Come on out if you're hiding in there |
|
I'm looking for you |
|
So look to the east from the ruins of the feast |
|
From the builders who built in the pay of the Roi Soleil |
|
Say that you knew |
|
That the cause of Danton was not truly won |
|
That the hearts of the people cried out for an empire and who? |
|
Napoleon. |
|
We all know that the time for the wealthy is through |
|
The key to the future is held by the people like you |
|
People like me - people like you |
|
Come on out if you're hiding in there |
|
I'm looking for you |
