Brother Where You Bound?

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

Silent fell the Willow Tree

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
