Someday Soon

Conflict

Someday soon, we will take vacations on the moon 
Someday soon, we will build great cities under water 
Someday soon, we will create the ultimate human being 
Someday soon, you will not believe in what you're seeing 

Yet, they can't find a cure for a common cold 
But they can reconstruct a face back to the young from the old 
The cancer spreads, the AIDS develops in its victims 
Science counts the costs in lives, the cause and not the cure succeeds 

A child fights for life, in a state of confusion 
Dragged up in a cesspit full of class 'A' illusions 
The progress chart monitors, brilliant achievements 
It's a world where technology easily outweighs bereavement 
The market remains flooded with drugs that only suppress 
Twenty types that all do the same thing, profit, and screw all the rest 
Who drop dead in the queue, to receive operations? 
As the Government reveal their new million pound sensation 

Dancing at the policeman's ball again 
We sing our songs of disgust, but they don't here a thing 
With heads held up high they raise a toast to progression 
And a record breaking turnover tenth year in succession 

There stands a woman she has no face 
Her baby cries out dying arms outstretched for embrace 
They have no stake in the society that demands their respect 
A world without any hope is all they can expect
