Busted

What is on my mind 
Nothing is clear in sin city 
Bombs blast the birds from the trees 
Rapists rampage on the streets 
Murders and no apology 
What is on my mind 
Nothing is clear in sin city 
And we are running out of time 

Thieves empty banks 
Politicians held to account 
Torture is the new buzz word 
Handcuffed and not heard 
Thrown into the cell of hell 
For a Kiss and a tale 

Protests are now the crime 
We take the beating on our life 
Chained to serfdom and losing the fight 
Poverty,  Injustice , equality no longer trusted..
If less than a degree then  your gonna get busted 

What is on my mind 
Nothing is clear in sin city 
Bombs blast the birds from the trees 
Rapists rampage on the streets 
Murders and no apology 
What is on my mind 
Nothing is clear in sin city 
And we are running out of time
