Can'T Fight City Hall

They said we can't fight City Hall
and taught us not to try.
Then had us write about our deaths.
The how's as much as why.

When all we thought the City knew
was just what it did not.
And all the help they offered us
was vain for being sought.

That every-time we'd wait for them
we're sure what we'd go through.
For everything we got from them
was from their point of view.
