Simon Says - Brother Where You Bound songtekst
Je score:
Computer crackling Chit chat voices fill the air A moment's touch of insight But that's nothing they will share The politicians' minds are mighthy strange indeed The law of least resistance Can make their venom bleed Once there were ideals Now only deals It's true the problem lies with you And with all the things you do How come no one sees you through? The hour's come Forget the days that you have won The snake is in the garden But the gardener is gone Talk is cheap Let money speak What is yours to grow Is mine to own The righteous minds no bother anymore We kicked them out the other door Polluted seas and burning trees Don't matter when it comes to earning Tricks and treats will keep folk on their feet Making ends meet It's just the same way as before Always the search for more Though now the stakes are getting higher And if the song remains the same It's high time to turn to a new refrain And try to set it all on fire This carousel is made in hell And faster than a streak of lightning But so if someone's cast over the side? They should have let themselves be tied So Tardigrade You've got it made If you'd only let me be your teacher Give me a pound a dollar or a yen I'll turn it to ten It's just the same way as it was You leave my no choice because You'll only put our lives in danger So go on kick me through the door 'Cause I'll never be your obedient whore Because I couldn't be a stranger I could be faithful to the ordinary man By building castles high And hide my head in sand But I will take it as it comes Everything is now So then why should I be gentle To the ground on which I stand? I could walk miles for you And tell you why you are I could turn tables round And bring you to the stars But I will take it when it comes The only one who runs Is the one who thinks he's stronger Than the tidal wave of war Once I was the city keeper Now I'm just a fool A shy dumb boy Walking home from School Once I fought for freedom And equality for all A brotherhood of Man outside these walls Shed it's tears on the dying ground Uttered one last sound: Tell me brother where you think you're bound? Once I saw the glory Reside in every man Now I only think I barely can Once believed in people's love And goodnes at the core But time has left us Stranded on the shore Silent fell the Willow Tree Begotten years weigh it's burial mound The question so profound: Tell me brother where you think you're bound? You're treading on my grave I'll tell you nothing will remain Humanity has rin to meet it's end I know the reason I see the treason behind You're standing by the roadsign And it tells you where to go But people hurry by and never know That there's a reason Don't see the treason behind They are only glad they are blind So many times it seems I've walked this road before Passsing my days without trying To just do something more So many times I've felt the sun warm my face And never understood That everything comes back again Take me now, I bid you Sir, Please take my soul away 'Cause I don't want to see the coming day Maybe that time will start running round it's wheel Don't know Hunger and pain is all that remains Maybe that life Will fly from this case of steel And come to us again When we are more sane So welcome I've known for so long Your picture on the mantlepiece is here Seeing is believing The Spiders are deceived By dying you bring life to this world Talke my hand I'll show you Where the water's rushing in Gulls fly high the mystery lies within Maybe your voice will be remembered Through the years No tears are shed in vain And time has no chain Maybe your struggle will breed another life Come here to me again I am the rain Retardigrade Now you have paid I just wish that you'd have listened Computertronics let it all be said: Tardigrade's dead We walk the same road as before Build on the need for more Don't see it putting us in danger And so the song remains the same: Snapshots of life passing frame by frame Don't see it turning us to strangers Strangers Strange
