God Cdamn, this Amsnow
CWill I ever Fget where I wanGna go
And so I Cskate, across the AmThames
CHand in Fhand, with Gall my friends
And all the Cthings, that we Amplanned
CMy son’s Feyes and the outline Gof his hand
And even Cthough I hate the Amcold
CA constant remFinder that I’m Ggetting old
Another Cyear draws to its Fclose
And tired CLondon Fslows
When I Cdream tonight, I’ll Fdream of
Cyou, and when the FThames, G/Cfroze
God Cdamn, this goverAmnment
CWill they ever Ftell me, where the Gmoney went
Protesters Cmarch out on the Amstreet
Cas young men Fsleep aGmongst their feet
Another Cyear draws to its Fclose
And tired CLondon Fslows
When I Cdream tonight, I’ll Fdream of
