[00:37.28]Once upon a time
[00:39.92]In a faraway land
[00:41.59]Lived a villain called Flash
[00:43.81]He was such a wicked man
[00:46.19]He terrorized the people
[00:48.17]He broke arms and crushed hands
[00:50.61]He ruled with a fist and he purchased all the land
[00:55.11]Then he plowed up the fields and cut down the trees
[00:59.84]For property speculation
[01:03.79]And he did it all for a pot of gold
[01:09.00]And for his own preservation
[01:13.44]The people were scared
[01:15.51]They didn't know where to turn
[01:18.04]They couldn't see any salvation
[01:22.15]From the hoods and the spivs
[01:24.60]And the crooked politicians
[01:27.07]Who were cheating and lying to the nation
[01:34.24]Save the fields and the trees
[01:36.41]And give them back to the nation
[01:40.50]Bring the government down
[01:42.84]A new leader must be found
[01:45.26]For the sake of preservation
[01:49.10]He said he did it to help us all
[01:54.17]And did it for the good of the nation
[01:58.61]But he did it for a pot of gold
[02:03.11]And for his own preservation
[02:22.03]Preservation
[02:52.99]When money is evil
[02:55.20]And power is corrupt
[02:57.48]The devil moves in and takes over
[03:01.56]Mr. Flash broke his word
[03:04.02]And now he's got to pay
[03:06.31]For his crimes and his lies and his evil ways
[03:13.21]And it's gonna get rough
[03:17.36]And it's gonna get rough
[03:19.78]It's a crime and a sin that no one can win
[03:24.14]In a story of self preservation
