GREETINGS IN THE LAND OF COCA-COLA

New arrivals in a blue blue city
Soft shoes on the streets of stone
Say good bye to James and Winston
A cardboard box is your new home

Greetings in the land of Coca-Cola
Where does a soul go when all hope has died
Careful of the ones who bought and sold ya
And turn a deaf ear on the ones who cry

Fifteen years you trained and sweat
Hour upon hour check by check
There goes the job now where’s the rent
Stand in line for a chance to collect

Greetings in the land of Coca-Cola
Where does a soul go when all hope has died
Careful of the ones who bought and sold ya
And turn a deaf ear on a mothers cry

Days grow wild and the nights are frighting
Sleeping where the greats are warm
This isn’t the future you envisioned
Now how long can you weather the storm

Greetings in the land of Coca-Cola
Where does a soul go when all hope has died
Careful of the ones who bought and sold ya
And turn a deaf ear on a fathers sigh
