Mekong Delta
Album • 1989
On the air Words of wisdom spread across this land And nod your head in faithful trust in me So senseless - there's no doubt about it So senseless - when you hear the latest news So senseless - you'll accept my opinion So senseless - as plain facts and truth TV sets and the radio We bring real life to your homes This is the question of trust Politicians Talking about affairs that don't concern you Just close your eyes and drift away So senseless - identical faces So senseless - the same stupid talk So senseless - let's fight for entertainment So senseless - then have a drink at the bar Switch on the TV And you will find life's so much brighter with us This is the question of trust Come home from work Feeling weary and out We kill your boredom and thoughts This is the question of trust Pay some more bucks For a fifty-inch screen Our second hand world will seem real This is the question of trust

The old bum - over there - holds a sign saying The only way for you to live - never stop trying A little boy - hands a note - over to me The message there - on that note - is simple and clear Don't ever leave the path - you have been walking on Don't ever change - your ways, your ways - of getting along No chance for you - to escape - from your destination Choose between good and bad - and make your own decision Just be true - to yourself - and things will be coming Don't ever try - to make them, to make them - smile at you For in return they'll turn their backs on you A prophecy - that's what I say And you'll find out - some day A chosen one - that's what you are Some day you're bound to find your way You will fight - in a world - that don't seem real You'll have to fight in that world - you don't believe in Don't you try to resist for things will be coming Hit by a car - in the streets of deserted town Wake up in dreams wondering - where you're around A voice keeps calling I will be lord of this land I will be ruler of this land No one can stop me anyway This will all be mine some day And you can't run away Away from your destiny You just can't deny The part you're bound to play Run - Run - Run Run but you can't get away - Run but you won't change your fate - Don't try to hide away - I'll wait for you some day - Now you can't deny The part you're bound to play

Here's a weird tale of madness About what happened to me I led a life full of luxury Till I broke down on my knees Cadillacs and furcoats A mansion by the sea Then lady luck walked away Left me in misery Once I believed This couldn't happen to me But now But now Everything has changed A six inch blade cut through my hand On that fatal day Then the doctor told me Slow death'd come my way My woman went away, people ignoring me Razor blades in my cornbread The folks in town wished I was dead Once I believed This couldn't happen to me But now But now Everything has changed Go away We don't want you around In this town Don't want you Don't want you What they say They don't want me around In this town Don't want me... Don't want me...

Way back in ancient days I took the shape of a golden idol They knelt in front on me Worshipped me prayed to me I saw the greed in their eyes [Chorus]: Longing - fame and fortune Yearning - wine and women Craving - gold and happiness Demanding - eternal life Ever since time began I have been the curse of men I saw them burning down Cities and countries They killed millions of men To please me, to calm me down I saw the greed in their eyes [Chorus] Longing - fame and fortune Yearning - wine and women Craving - gold and happiness Demanding - eternal life I've been around for so long Their faith and devotion make me strong [Chorus] Longing - fame and fortune Yearning - wine and women Craving - gold and happiness Demanding - eternal life They've prayed at my altar With heads bowed real low And I've been around Wherever they go Wherever they go Until the end The end of time There's no escape How I like your Sacrifices Ever since time began Ever since time began

Ambitious I am Gonna save this world Drums beating Soldiers marching Don't stand in our way Over the hills We march The final showdown is near I am chosen To be Savior of this world one day Marching on Through this land My dreams They'll all come true I will never ever fail Marching on Through this land My dreams They'll all come true I will never ever fail We just do what's right We will never die The world ain't real The weak one cries Soon he'll face truth Over the hills We march The final showdown is near Dawn is near But what I see I simply can't believe Soldiers, soldiers, soldiers everywhere As far as I can see Billions of enemies Bound to tear my world apart Now that I face the facts I gotta realize Something must have been wrong from the start I can see Them smile at me I know the end is near That's the curse of reality Curse of reality - You have got me down You have shot me down You have knocked me down

Can't control My hands and feet Conditioned to be a human machine Can't control My thoughts and needs Memories erased... My brain won't work - alright no more Without that chip - inside my head The things I see - I can't define Responsibility seems strange to me Shock - I'm a victim of the latest Fear - Gene technology Shock - I'm trained to be a robot Fear - To serve society Shock - I never ask no questions Fear - I never cause a doubt Shock - I don't know what's going on and what it's all about I gotta know The reason why I can't receive no signals anymore Seems like I'm Left alone In a dying world I did my job - all night and day Now everything - has gone astray There's emptiness - inside my head I realize I've been long gone dead Shock - Foreign determination Fear - And the happiness I've known Shock - Have faded with the signals Fear - From my master's room Shock - All wires disconnected Fear - I see the shades of doom Shock - Standing by the ruins fills my heart with gloom

I'm a member of the motley crew Pleasing the rich and kings When I make 'em laugh Nobody even cares What's inside my mind Don't seem to get what I'm looking for And I can't stand it anymore Can't you see Can't you see Don't drag me down Don't push me 'round Don't drag me down Don't push me 'round I'm gonna get what I'm yearning for Break out and play my part no more That's what I say That's what I say I sit and I wait till the big boss's calling me Now I wish I could hide away You'll see me smile But I'm hurt inside Now I wish I could break away I can't stand it anymore Don't wanna play the fool no more Gotta break away Gotta break away When you gaze at me it's like A look into mirror And here is what you're bound to see Someone like you Leading a kind Of life that's killing me I'm gonna get what I'm yearning for Break out and play my part no more That's what I say That's what I say Don't drag me down Don't push me 'round Don't drag me down Don't push me 'round I'm gonna get what I'm yearning for Break out and play my part no more That's what I say That's what I say Don't drag me down Don't push me 'round Don't drag me down Don't push me 'round I'm gonna get what I'm yearning for Break out and play my part no more That's what I say That's what I say Don't drag me down Don't push me 'round Don't drag me down Don't push me 'round I'll be just what I wanna be Wanna be - desperately I'll be what I wanna be Wanna be - desperately

Light turned low Curtains let down Ain't no one else in sight Waiting for you Just for you Four walls get closer every day [Chorus]: We have been friends for so long And no one will ever know Like the Phoenix from the ashes You come to haunt my dreams And I think I know You'll never let me go You'll never let me go You're a part of me You belong to me You know my secrets All my emotions Nothing I can hide We'll stay together Cause we can't stay apart Though I know someday we're through [Chorus] We have been friends for so long And no one will ever know Like the Phoenix from the ashes You come to haunt my dreams And I think I know You'll never let me go You'll never let me go You're a part of me You belong to me Now you've gone too far Now you've grown too strong The ceiling is caving in You've been here for much too long Dark walls all around I see Getting closer, closer to me Won't let you go - I got a split-up mind Can't let you go Ooh, you drive me insane Won't let you go - Please, please let me go Can't let you go Cause you're killing me Won't let you go - Why do you do that to me Can't let you go Why don't you set me free Won't let you go - I'm paralyzed in my bed Can't let you go Pain's creeping right through my head Won't let you go - Why don't you leave me be Can't let you go You are the death of me Split personality
