They named it the rock, land of
the living dead A repose for the rich and famous All the infamous would tell each other's lies Why did they want to tell the truth [CHORUS] On an island in the sun Cool Pacific winds blow Most were poets and they wrote in basic prose On the walls of their sunset blvd. In their nine by five rooms, became inspired By the silence in sight of the city [FULL CHORUS] On an island in the sun Cool Pacific winds blow Just across the bay Battered by the waves [SOLO] [FULL CHORUS] - Key change Two Sailawena's [FULL CHORUS] |

Alcatrazz-General Hospital
I awoke in a room that was occupied by those about to die For my sleep was disturbed by the sound of old men's cries for help What's this place?What the hell am i doing here,Whats happened to me And I'm wondering what kind of state my mind and body's In Be calm, Please lay back We will help you rest for a while And i yelled no you don't know (Im) not going to sleep I'm just gonna get my body out of here I pushed the bottle down away from my face But felt the needle stabed like a spear As my legs started shaking the room revolved around my aching head And the floor's rushing up just to greet me Laying there on my back as the ceiling flies away from me Was i finally losing my hold on reality? Be calm, Take this pill We will help you rest for a while And i yelled no you don't know (Im) not going to sleep I'm just gonna get my body out of here I pushed the bottle down away from my face But felt the needle stabed like a spear |

On a short trip we made a landing
Then we were strangers in town How they stared as we made our exit We're white they're all brown Dr. Livingstone where are you when we need you the most We're white as ivory on the ivory coast [1/2CHORUS] Jet into jet Eat their poison like true ambassadors We will drink up their beer So predictable washed out white Men foreigners are here Call me master I'll call you boy If that's all that you need How that wounds me just leave me here to bleed [SOLO] Black mans burden is on his shoulder and keeps him well in his place Two hundred pounds worth of megawatts That smack him in the face There's no reason to take the weight Life's not strapped to your head Don't wear the token till the token black is dead [CHORUS] |

It was newborn and ten feet tall,
But they called it little boy, And C7, H5, O6, N3 they called him T-N-T. The fireball would dim the sun, Promising death in its cruelest form. Hiroshima Mon Amour As we beg to be forgiven do you spit, In our face and curse us all. The fireball that shamed the sun, Burning the shadows on the ground, As the rain falls to dry the land, Leaving desert for the thirsty man. They all said it would end the war, And we thanked Christ for the bomb, And the priests and witches all agreed, They should die to keep them free. The fireball that shamed the sun, Burning the shadows on the ground, As the rain falls to dry the land, Leaving the desert for the thirsty man. HIROSHIMA!!! |

Masters of the world hidden from our eyes
In the sun we grew sharing the same light Elegant warrior my gun and your spear Killers that keep our lives apart Pictures from the air stole away your souls Aerobatic thieves photographic freeze Lead by the legend of Kree Nakoorie The man that hides away from man so hard to understand (SOLO) Flying bladed ships carried us to you As you walked away trees obscured our view Scared by the legend of Kree Nakoorie The man that hides from all the world The masters of the world |

Chemical kids lost in the street, looking
for some kind of saviour Perverted minds lead them like sheep into the slaughter they have to face (CHORUS) Too young to die, too drunk to live As they follow in the path of believers before them Too young to die, but there won't be too long to live Daddie's princess fixes her hair, powders her nose from the inside Smokes in the car, drinks her last beer, soon she'll be ready for one more day Head for the classroom and to hell but the clock up on the wall hold the blind face of freedom (CHORUS CONT.) There's time to die but she just needs more time to live (SOLO) Years from now Look how they change They're so mature and respected Makes them laugh They were such fools So unaware of the real live world Honey I'm home, fix me a drink It's been a long hard day and the boss drove me crazy Watching the clock on the wall for the happy hour |

Just a young boy's memory summer days
Chasing rabbits through the fields Taking water from the well And the warmth of the grandfather smile And his magical eyes (CHORUS) It's hard to go back again to be who we have been Hot as the memory burns it's cold and wearing thin (In Star Carr Lane) By the light of Kerosene Deals of cards and dominoes Play for matches play for laughs Flirting with the radio Climb the stairs in the dark by the candlelight eye in the night (CHORUS) All the stone faced sepia stares Looking out with secret smiles In defiance of the years Remember me I knew you well And the warmth of the grandfather Smile from his magical eyes |
