Ray Davies - Introduction to Solution lyrics

Sung by The Tramp: While the rich get their kicks with their affluent antics Mr. Black sits and ponders their fate He just sits in the gloom of his dimly-lit room Waiting for them to swallow the bait While the rich run their rackets he sits in his attic And casually clocks their defeat While the politicians cover up mistakes that they've made And all the promises, the lies and deceits A military coup has been long overdue Now there's fighting and panic in the streets Amid the ma** disillusion, disorder and confusion He will rise now his plan is complete But me, I'm only standing here Watching it all go on and I'm watching it all go wrong And it's painfully clear that the battle is near And I wish I could just disappear While Flash and his men drink champagne in their den And debase life with crude ostentation The poor cry for more, but they're reaching the point Where the people can't stand any more But me, I'm only standing here Watching it all go on, and I'm watching it all go wrong And it's painfully clear that the battle is near And I wish I could just disappear
