If I was someone else
Would you still say what you're saying? If I were someone else Would you conscience be straying? Soul warfare It's all that I can do To put my faith in you It's all that I can give To be a fugitive It's all that there can be Not wanting to be free It's all that I can take These fifteen days awake It's more than I can hide My needs can't be denied A million miles or more Can't keep me from your door There is no place to run Until the fighting's done More bloodshed every day The soul war's here to stay If I want something more It could be you who'll be paying As this is my soul war These are the rules we'll be playing It's not for you to say Which district I'll be destroying You could never know The tactics I'll be employing You could be part of me Forget the wealth you're forsaking Your strategy is clear My soul is there for the taking It's all that I can do To put my faith in you It's all that I can give To be a fugitive It's all that there can be Not wanting to be free It's all that I can take These fifteen days awake It's more than I can hide My needs can't be denied A million miles or more Can't keep me from your door There is no place to run Until the fighting's done More bloodshed every day The soul war's here to stay |

Look ahead, on the screen,
Slim perfect creatures and they're just 16 Their eyes meet, this is it, The contact so much more than words can transmit He stands up, she gives in, Their first encounter, their embrace within A short ride, they arrive, There is no doubt that true love will survive We are the geisha boys Doing it wrong again They are the chosen ones Doing it right Here come the temple girls Looking for sanctuary Naked as advertised For the first time If you turn away from the screen Another version can be seen She is black, and he is white They love each other but they also fight Back from work, she's not home Another evening angry, all alone She arrives and he departs Misunderstandings, then the breakdown starts Here we are late at night We are both refugees There is no easy way Let it be right Anything's possible If you can fake it, but The wrong place is anywhere If you're not right We are the geisha boys Doing it wrong again They are the chosen ones Doing it right Here come the temple girls Looking for sanctuary Naked as advertised For the first time There's not much that you can do Choose either one of them it could be you The first time could be the only time The odds against you and your hopes decline Do it right, or do it wrong Console yourself that either won't last long Geisha boys or temple girls Make contact or remain in separate worlds We are the geisha boys Doing it wrong again They are the chosen ones Doing it right Here come the temple girls Looking for sanctuary Naked as advertised For the first time Here we are late at night We are both refugees There is no easy way Let it be right Anything's possible If you can fake it, but The wrong place is anywhere If you're not right We are the geisha boys Doing it wrong again They are the chosen ones Doing it right Here come the temple girls Looking for sanctuary Naked as advertised For the first time Here we are late at night We are both refugees There is no easy way Let it be right Anything's possible If you can fake it, but The wrong place is anywhere If you're not right |

And as the low aggress the high
All you can do is sit and cry You've only got yourself to blame Don't try to stop me it's too late My mind's made up, this job won't wait There's nothing left for me to say Hey! There's no need to debate It's time to designate your fate Take the M out of M.A.D. Let's all make a bomb Take one hundred scientists or more Place in a room and lock the door Let them confer for half their lives Unlock the door, go in and see What they have made for you and me A brand new toy to idolize Hey! There's no need to debate It's time to designate your fate Take the M out of M.A.D. Let's all make a bomb Although the war has just begun Ignore the sirens, let's have fun Put on your best, go out in style Although our future's looking black We'll go down town and join the pack Let's celebrate and vaporise |

Can't sleep, trying hard to find a rhyme
Can't work, I am tired all the time Can't eat, since my appetite has gone Can't think, when it started to go wrong Can't move, I've no energy to fight Can't see, any end to this in sight Last week, I could do all of those things But now, I am just the man who sings I've searched around for years and years I've drank in bars, destroyed careers Sold on a need to be famous I've seen the good in men survive Only to fail when I arrive Convincing them I am blameless I was the man with future sight I would change fortunes overnight Knowing for me it was painless Can't sleep, trying hard to find a rhyme Can't work, I am tired all the time Can't eat, since my appetite has gone Can't think, when it started to go wrong Can't move, I've no energy to fight Can't see, any end to this in sight Last week, I could do all of those things But now, I am just the man who sings One day in April 10:15 Awakened screaming by a dream Something that touched me was burning A diamond pin fell from my eye Then something strange began to cry "Your will can stop this world turning" Since then I've fought more than I should Against the will that I withstood Hoping I could be its master But now the dream is all I see There is no hope of breaking free One song away from disaster Can't move, I've no energy at all Can't see, any end to this in sight Last week, I could do all of those things But now, I am just the man who sings |

I don't care about life
Or the world around me I've got a place to go I don't care what you say Words cannot harm me You're going down below Come and join the fun on the way to heaven Come and talk to god on the party line If you can't be bothered, we don't need you We're going to live for a very long time I don't care for your views Or your style of living You're going to fail the test You can argue all night I have no misgivings And I never get depressed Come and join the fun on the way to heaven Come and talk to god on the party line If you can't be bothered, we don't need you We're going to live for a very long time Come and join the fun on the way to heaven Come and talk to god on the party line If you can't be bothered, we don't need you We're going to live for a very long time You may think that it's strange This is all I live for But you can't understand If you listen to me I'll explain it carefully You must know I am right Come and join the fun on the way to heaven Come and talk to god on the party line If you can't be bothered, we don't need you We're going to live for a very long time He'll give you one more chance Now's the time to take it He's waiting for your call You'll be up there with me We'll be grinning in heaven When the day of judgment comes Come and join the fun on the way to heaven Come and talk to god on the party line If you can't be bothered, we don't need you We're going to live for a very long time for a very long time (repeat until end) |
