Hostage Rails

No care for the common we defend Just the bottom line they want to extend Since '80, the gears have clicked Into a future where we're all tricked They promised the train would be our steed Now we're just hostages to their greed 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
