Build Another Mall Lyrics

He walked up to me and said I'm free

I nodded my head and said I believe

He skipped off joyfully down the street

When a car came 'round and knocked him off his feet

I was gettin' kind of cold and went into a store

When a thief ran in and said I need more

He asked for my wallet I told him I had none

So he took everything he could and went on the run

To those who have nothing and to those who have more

What are we doing what are we fighting for

The illusions are grand but the rewards are small

It's a cheap way out to build another mall

A little while later a woman walked by

A balloon in her hand and a nasty black eye

She handed me the balloon and told me to wait

She said she was going to a rally and needed to integrate

I went to get a meal and tried to pay cash

The waitress said, honey that will never last

As I walked out a young man he came undone

Said everyone on the floor cause I've got a gun

To those who have nothing and to those who have more

What are we doing what are we fighting for

The illusions are grand but the rewards are small

It's a cheap way out to build another mall
