I Will Return

On Wall Street the players all practice the art of the deal

In L.A. the freeway puts drivers to sleep at the wheel

The hum of the jet planes that rattle the windows below

These people have so much to learn, but I will return

The priests and the teachers that violate their oath to serve

The stories in tabloids all seem to expose a raw nerve

The murder for money, the news a reality show

The kids watch the High Schools burn, yet I will return

High paid politicians that promise a world of relief

Their carefully chosen words hiding the plans of a thief

The popular President smiles and declares a new war

The pages of history turn, so I will return

A man in a prison found hanging alone in his cell

Had scratched on the walls a true story too gruesome to tell

His music touched millions but did he touch the children as well?

The courts of opinion adjourn, and I will return

The story repeated for forty days and forty nights

The faithful that followed them offered up earthly delights

The sirens were singing and bringing them all to the light

Religion is not my concern, though I will return
