The Christians - Hooverville (And They Promised Us The World) lyrics

The doubt of work sends the out of work man To city a hope and a home One door shuts here another two slam Yes he's homeless he's hopeless alone Row upon row of a castle in Spain, make up a fool's paradise The still born brainchild of a main with no brain The ballot box baby that died Oh Hooverville, and they promised us the world In Hooverville, said the streets that were paved with silver and gold Oh Hooverville, yes they promised us the world Crying for the moon Dirty faced children sit in the road, in the shanty town shacks they call home The comfort of knowing they won't be there long Is the only comfort they know A young scream a young dream is lost in the night Along with the young will to live Along with the ma**es, that gave up the fight A fight for a reason to live Oh Hooverville, and they promised us the world In Hooverville, said the streets that were paved with silver and gold Oh Hooverville, yes they promised us the world,in Hooverville And as fools we believed every last word they said I believed every last word you said Oh Hooverville, and they promised us the world In Hooverville, said the streets that were paved with silver and gold Oh Hooverville, and they promised us a roof above our heads In Hooverville And as fools we believed every last word they said Their hope is so high, when they arrive Their hope is their only possession in life Another man dies, another man cries Mr Politician open up you eyes Open up your eyes Crying for the moon
