----Version from "Alive '95 [Bonus Tracks]" cd w/ Kai Hansen singing----
I need a new direction
Another thought to serve me right
My mind has got an infection
And there is nothing that seems to help
I need to grow an island... somewhere inside my head
where nothing can disturb me, for I am free. Where I'm forever set.
Maybe it's not important
If we are dead or alive.
I never ever really wanna listen to the sirens as long as I'm still alive
Who says: we are not guilty?
I say: we never know the way it goes
Changes - all around me, all inside my head
Changes - changing face, still remaining mad.
Changes - in all day routine.
Hard to enjoy the good times,
Decay is what I feel
Oh God, it's makin' me porous, vanish in haze,
I wonder, wonder if I'm real.
Newflash - under the new regulations
Non-conformity will be punished by law.
Relax - and don't forget to turn on your TV set!
Sigh no more!
For you, you are not guilty,
No, no, you're not responsible at all.
Changes - all around me your inside my head
Changes - changing face, still remaining mad.
Changes - changing systems, still insane.
Changes - but the madness will remain.
Changes!
Who is the man who says I'm never gonna cry?
It's a lie, it's a lie!
Oh I'm not the man who says I never have to die!
I'm alive! Still alive!
Oppression, resistance
We will never change our way,
The island in my mind is growin'
More and more, day after day.
All around me now, all inside me now
Changes
Wanna cry no more, gonna' sigh no more.
Changes
Wanna cry no more, wanna sigh no more.
Changes
Wanna cry no more, wanna to sigh no more.
Changes
