Sun down on the West

 Sun down in the west

With the children breathing fumes

And choking on the China

Porcelaine news

Sundown on the West

And on all existence

As we wander into an uncertain age

Of Tv crews abuse

Sun down on the West

And the factories spewing toxins

In water streams for us to consume

And they it is all for the best

Sun down in the west

With the birds flying backwards

And the fishing lying on their backs

Breathing their last

Sun Down in the West

Oh see this life's lifelessness

We all struggle for righteousness

But are consumed by greed

Sun down in the West and my figures

Crack, are thrown on the wasteland

Of disease

And the scrap yard of broken dreams

Sundown on the West

Men lie broken shoulder to shoulder

Capitalism is not blest

They find as they get older

Sun down in the West

Communism's beast growls

Somewhere in the East

Hungry for the rest

Sun down in the West 

And it is all fools gold

Chasing after what has sold

And what we never really need

Sun down in the West

The promise of a dream

Crumbling in the scenes

Of Mountains and Mississipi
