We Have This Hope

that crime does not pay
that at the end the good will be triumphant
that the good shall be rewarded
the bad punished

we have this hope
inside our hearts

we insist on this hope
as though we own it

i guess my dear
we must also have some reservations for all these

as you said
in your hometown the bad guys win
