Lyrics

Perfect World by Richard Schuttler

Three second sound bites, spin doctors, talking heads
Supply side economics and the vanishing middle class
Vested interest buys the voice of common sense
Who knows what evil lurks within the hearts of men

I said I really must insist, don’t take no rocket scientist
Cause even I can figure out, what this is really all about
I’m here a knocking at the door but I’m not really
Sure if there’s room for us all
In their perfect world, in their perfect world

Angry white senators build a wall around the house
And they sell their soul to a demagogue who would drive their demons out
There’s talk of revolution and tough love what can it mean
Better ask the working girls off forty second street

I said I really must insist, don’t take no rocket scientist
Cause even I can figure out, what this is really all about
I’m here a knocking at the door, but I’m not really
Sure if there’s room for us all
In their perfect world, in their perfect world

And there are those who say there’s nothing you can do
Nothing left to give until there’s nothing left to loose
The corporation bought the patents on the truth
With their pocket politicians in their polyester suits and

I said I really must insist, don’t take no rocket scientist
Cause even I can figure out, what this is really all about
I’m here a knocking at the door, but I’m not really
Sure if there’s room for us all
In their perfect world, in their perfect world

Wealth and privilege buys the ticket for the feast
And they serve their potent influence to the men who would be king and
All our problems photo opportunities for the
Self-appointed savior come to trickle down on me

I said I really must insist
Don’t take no rocket scientist
Cause even I can figure out
What this is really all about

I said I really must insist, don’t take no rocket scientist
Cause even I can figure out, what this is really all about
I’m here a knocking at the door but I’m not really
Sure if there’s room for us all

In their perfect world, in their perfect world
In their perfect world, In their perfect world
In their perfect world, In their perfect world
In their perfect world, In their perfect world
