The Community of Hope Lyrics
Here's the Hope Six Demolition Project
Switching down the Benning Road
The well-known "pathway of death"
At least that's what I'm told
And here's the one sit-down restaurant
In Ward Seven, nice
OK, now this is just drug town, just zombies
But that's just life
In the Community of Hope
The Community of Hope
The Community of Hope
The Community of Hope, hope, hope, hope
Here's the highway pathway of death and destruction
South Capitol is its name
And the school that looks like shit-hole
Does that look like a nice place?
Here's the old mental institution
And the Homeland Security Base
And here's God's Deliverance Centre
A deli called M.L.K
And The Community of Hope
The Community of Hope
The Community of Hope
The Community of Hope, hope, hope, hope
They're gonna put a Walmart here
They're gonna put a Walmart here
They're gonna put a Walmart here...
Switching down the Benning Road

But that's just life
The Community of Hope
The Community of Hope
The Community of Hope, hope, hope, hope

Here's the old mental institution
And the Homeland Security Base
And here's God's Deliverance Centre

The Community of Hope
The Community of Hope
The Community of Hope, hope, hope, hope
They're gonna put a Walmart here
They're gonna put a Walmart here...

This is a very simple, yet well-written song. She's showing how the capital forgets about its own residents while it promotes wars overseas, including some wars she speaks of in the same album. Even with all the poverty, they'll "put" a walmart here. That's just brilliant.
