It could be considered prophetic for times that we are now experiencing. Oh, Garbage! Garbage! Garbage! Garbage! Their stocks and their bonds — all garbage! Garbage! Garbage! Garbage! Garbage! What will they do when their system goes to smash There's no value to their cash There's no money to be made But there's a world to be repaid Their kids will read in history books About financiers and other crooks And feudalism, and slavery And nukes and all their knavery To history's dustbin they're consigned Along with many other kinds of garbage. Garbage! Garbage! Garbage! Garbage! |
