Preservation (2023 Remaster)

[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

[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)
