Great Expectations - Tank

Great Expectations

Lords in their chambers they’re handing out favours

They only answer to God

Watching the bankers the second rate chancers

Driving us into the ground

There’s a sign on his door says «Don't come in»

What’s he doing in there with his nistress?

There’s a sign on the door

Experience for sale

There’s a sign on the door.

I’m gonna get ya

We had Great Expectations

But you all let us down

We had Great Expectations

You just let us down

Priests and their morals sing Christmas carols

While drinking the communion wine

Mix up the story we know of Heaven and glory

See the blind leading blind

There’s a cross on the wall and a purple gown

It’s a story we know only too well

There’s a cross on the wall, and a candle bright

There’s a cross on the wall but it just ain’t right

We had Great Expectations

But you all let us down

We had Great Expectations

You just let us down

Here comes the young man fathering children

He’ll never see as they grow

Watching the young girl dancing for money

Swinging her legs round a pole

Forgotten child if you head goes wild

Forgotten child of despair

Forgotten child gotta rise above

If you gotta get crazy

Get high on love

We had Great Expectations

But you all let us down

We had Great Expectations

You just let us down down down
