Tracks of Betrayal

They cut the lines, profits over soul Since '80, they took control (they took it all) The system bleeds under private hands (private hands) Tracks of lies across the troubled lands In the seats, frustration boils high (boils so high) On platforms, dreams just wither and die They screamed, it should be seamless tracks The trains keep failing, that's the fact They said the routes would shine like gold But the cold delays left us alone Corporate giants, they played their game Since '80, nothing's been the same Politicians sold the ride (sold the ride) Promised efficiency on every side But now we're tangled in the red tape war Stranded passengers, what's it all for? The corporate smiles hide the greed While the commuters bear the cost of their creed
