The Oceanside Palace by Sun Theater
published on
by the sea they have built two hotels
what it might do time will tell
and they brag about the look
to disguise those things they took
cuz they stole all our ocean views
my blue collar friends always lose
though we claw, we cry, what’s the use
though we claw, we cry, what’s the use
Star of the Sea
San Luis Rey
those places that teach us to stay
and I cry to you day after day
as a tree or a stone on the ground
could never be bought, only found
but our people run away
does it have to be this way
doesn’t have to be this way
how will heavenly Jerusalem come down
I can hear the call
I would see it fall
in this city could we build your palace now
made with many hands
in spite of all our plans
