Atlantis

Welcome to Atlantis We're glad you're here We hope you had a safe trip And welcome you with open arms Allow me to tell you the history Of our lovely city of Atlantis We used to play baseball We erected statues We carved out a society Built on hopes and dreams And told our children Just go to school Be all that you can be The future is so very bright We lied to their face We stole their hopes and dreams We wiped out species after species We polluted the world We ravaged the oceans We killed each other over faith Our citizens lived in a wealthy nation But most were trapped in poverty And a sickness away from bankruptcy But look at them now Don't you dare look away Look at each ghost in the eyes As they stand on a worthless pile of cash Hoarded by a very fortunate few We were raised to believe Atlantis was just a fantasy tale But failed to realize the irony By making fantasy a reality
