[Verse 1]
Once upon a time in a faraway land
Lived a villain called Flash, he was such a wicked man
He terrorized the people, he broke arms and crushed hands
He ruled with a fist and he purchased all the land
[Chorus]
Then he plowed up the fields and cut down the trees
For property speculation
And he did it all for a pot of gold
And for his own preservation
[Verse 2]
The people were scared, they didn't know where to turn
They couldn't see any salvation
From the hoods and thе spivs and the crooked politicians
Who werе cheating and lying to the nation
[Chorus]
Save the fields and the trees
And give them back to the nation
Bring the government down
A new leader must be found
For the sake of the preservation
He said he did it to help us all
And he did it for the good of the nation
But he did it for a pot of gold
And for his own preservation
[Bridge]
Preservation (Preservation)
Preservation (Preservation)
Preservation
[Verse 3]
When money is evil and power is corrupt
The devil moves in and takes over
Mr. Flash broke his word and now he's got to pay
For his crimes and his lies and his evil ways
[Outro]
And it's gonna get rough
And it's gonna get rough
It's a crime and a sin that no one can win
In a story of self-preservation (Preservation)
