From the recording Faith of Least Resistance - MP3
Lyrics
RICHES TO RAGS
Even when the rain is gone
The flashing flood remains
Claiming all that's in its path
It can wash you away
Equality
Unethically
Is forced upon the layers of society
In hope to bring
Prosperity
But only left the population struggling
The road to hell is paved with good intentions
And many bricks make up its false foundation
And all of those that glued the stones together
Have sealed their fate and changed their state forever
Riches to rags to riches to rags
Open the eyes of America
Rich in diamonds, gold and oil
The Venezuelan land
A fruitful beacon to the spoil
Till it was squandered away
Supplies are gone
Food lines are long
The suffering is more than families can bare
The crowded streets
Bring cold defeat
To voices bringing protest to the public square
The road to hell is paved with good intentions
And many bricks make up its false foundation
And all of those that glued the stones together
Have sealed their fate and changed their state forever
Riches to rags to riches to rags
Open the eyes of America
