	Story Behind the Song This song is about the disparity of wealth in the SF bay area. It's so expensive that it's nearly impossible for people with even middle class incomes to survive. For being such a liberal city politically, the homeless are not particularly well taken care of. Recently millions of dollars(private dollars mostly) were spent on an animal shelter complete with televisions to entertain the animals. Fake fish bowls for the cats. No joke!!!! In SF no stray animals can be eutheanize. Which I'm all for, except there are humans freezing to death. The homeless are easy to find all over the streets of beautiful SF. Most of them mentally ill. You'd think with the money this city has they could do more for their homeless. Lyrics Land of Plenty Music & Lyrics by Joseph Scalero (c)2000 He was a father. She was a mother. Now just another. Now just a number. And on and on and on and on . . . Faceless names. Downtown trains. Clocks chime the hours as the figures fade under towers in the land of plenty, there are so many, in the land of plenty, left without any. He was a brother. She was a sister. Now just a memory. A faded picture. And on and on and on and on . . . The pavement and the Western winds, around you this big world spins and we'll make room for another in the land of plenty. There are so many in the land of plenty. Come shelter me. Faintly you can hear the voices. Crush shatter it. The walls between the have and the have nots. He was a father. She was a mother. Now just a memory now just another. He was a brother she was a sister now just a number a faded picture.
