Who’d a Thought
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There’d be a struggle for the status quo
The working class would be out on the go
Gearing up for a new revolution
Putting down the racist institution
Culture as we know it taking a swerve
People fighting to get what they deserve
Middle class people gonna take it in the face
The end of what we call the human race
That they’d be killing us with too many cars
Heating up the earth is going too far
Pumping chemicals are boiling in the water
Industry is setting us all up for the slaughter
Tearing down houses at accelerated pace
Stacking up price new condos in the face
There’s no remorse, and nothing give
An normal person can’t afford a place to live
Who’d a thought we’d ever see the day
Who’d a thought they would throw us all away
Who’d a thought take a shovel as you dig
Who’d a thought for the cheating lying pigs
There’d be people starving in the street
Freezing in the cold with nothing to eat
That our society would throw them away
Asking how did it happen? But it’s happening today
Religious leaders, powerful they say
They’re so archaic that they’re down on the gays
With a negative attitude as this
Anyone with half a brain would be taking the piss
Who’d a thought we’d ever see the day
Who’d a thought they would throw us all away
Who’d a thought take a shovel as you dig
Who’d a thought for the cheating lying pigs
Should be ashamed of yourselves you greedy jerks
So live your horrid lives pray to God and go to church
Your selfishness despicable leave your poison legacy
But leave of us all out of it cuz this has nothing to do with me
Who’d a thought we’d ever see the day
Who’d a thought they would throw us all away
Who’d a thought take a shovel as you dig
Who’d a thought for the cheating lying pigs
