The Message

everybody's crying, 'cause nobody knows
everybody's lying, but it's all for the show
everybody's dying, nobody goes
we all stay around
every heart is broken when love disappears
every heart is spoken, but nobody hears
every heart is woken to a world full of fear
all go down
i'm not looking for no more excuses
just a little bit of peace in my mind
i never want to make you feel uncomfortable
but they've been fooling us around
you can tell yourself, you can make it
you canned tell yourself you can be the one
you can tell yourself you can break it
in a world that's only just begun
did you get the message
the message on the television
simple kind of reason
just political decision
gonna have a war
people live and die
you know the score
the reason why the rich survive
now your heart is broken
your love has disappeared
for all the words are spoken
your mind is still unclear
for every word that's spoken
you hope your love stays around
in a world that's only just begun!

how you seem to change someone
and how, you make them think they’re having fun
and how, you change their clothes to rags
and how, you make them pack their bags
when the hippies, they cut off their hair
find they go nowhere
all the mushy tales and acid dreams
can’t tell you how they are
when you call them up on the telephone
and ask them how they’ve been
you try to open up their minds
and you, modify the things you find
and now, if you want to change the world
come on join the march, or you’re never heard
changing colours of your hair
get a kick when the people stare
hanging with the local band
believe in what they say when they stand on stage
and pretend that they’re the answer to your fears
when all your dreams are dying or dead
it’s just a nightmare, production fed
when all your fortunes seem to disappear
when all your dreams are dying or dead
now you want to take my girl
you think that you’ll be good for her
but it’s just another fantasy
speeding minds will never see
that now I’ve got my level head
I’d be kicking when you’re dead and buried in your grave
you’ll wonder why you never listened to
a single word I say

Out Of Mind

paper man laughs, lets another one fly
I change my world to every new page, new lies
more in the east and there’s fewer back home
a battle is won and it’s all gone, overthrown
you say in conversation
you know it to be true
the source of your information
turns the bank door key, there’s enough for you and me
if we continue…
you speak of love, now it’s a curious world
the truth is erased and my mind is a whirl
up down turn around I punch the air
I gave you the world
now the world doesn’t seem to care
you say in conversation
you know it’s not true
while the source of your information lies before my eyes
you can live your lies
if I continue, I’ve got to be out of my mind
you say, get a life - push aside your dreams
you’ve gone that way, I’ve made up my mind
got a head full of steam, didn’t mean to be mean
if we continue…
paper man sits under a tree in the shade
we discover a thief, there’s decisions to be made
it rests in my heart, you twist the blade
we need a kick-start, we need someone to blame
you say, get a life - push aside your dreams
you’ve gone that way, I’ve made up my mind
got a head full of steam didn’t mean to be mean
if we continue, we’ve got to be out of our minds
out of our minds

Bombs

crazy world
to think that it was over
I was under the impression
that the bombs were gone
you can’t do that, you know it’s wrong
you can’t do that, you know it’s a fact
people and the oceans are dying
people get it together
so the world can move
you may think that we’re speaking out of turn
but I like to think we represent
a good safe world
so don’t go take away the feelings of a new world
just hold on, ‘cause it’s just around the corner
so don’t, go take away the feeling of a new world
hold on! it’s just around the corner
when the bombs are gone
