Land Of The Rising Slum

de Skyclad

I find it hard to sleep at night
I feel that the worst is yet to come
Human termites driven mad
On the concrete mound of the rising slum.
We learnt how hard it's to crawl
Stand with your backs up against the wall.

Show me a politician who's a man we can trust
Living in the Land of the rising slum.
And if I ever meet him then I think I'll have him stuffed
Living in the Land of the rising slum.
Look out of the window - see not one happy face
The only splash of colour's the graffiti 'round the place.
Living in the Land of the rising slum.

Are some people just born bad
Or is it how we all become?
Human termites driven mad
On the concrete mound of the rising slum.
We learnt how hard it's to crawl
Standing with your backs up against the wall.

The people who are dark fear the people who are fair
Living in the land of the rising slum.
And hippies live in terror of the guys who have no hair
Living in the Land of the rising slum.
The saddest thing of all - what I really find grim
Is we haven't yet noticed what a mess we're all in.
Living in the land of the rising slum.

Are some people just born bad
Or is it how we all become?
Human termites driven mad
On the concrete mound of the rising slum.
We learnt how hard it's to crawl
Standing with your back up against the wall.

The "whether man" says that the outlook's not great
Living in the land of the rising slum.
A few outbreaks of murder with some isolated rape
Living in the land of the rising slum.
I ask my doctor his advice, this is what he says,
"Get yourself some cancer boy, before you die of aids."
Living in the land of the rising slum.
