You got Lybia, you got the Russians You got civilian planes crashing to the oceans Airports full of terrorists Nazi skins, anarchists When are they gonna learn Better listen to me you son of a bitch Better disarm those missiles sleeping in the ditch You have no goddamn right to do the things you do The world would be a better place if we were rid of you Of rage and war (4 times) Every country¹s got the bomb The scientists are working on Chemical weapons to melt the flesh With no source of defense Shoot me I¹ll shoot you Like there¹s nothing better to do Who¹s the loser in the end Better listen to me you son of a bitch Better disarm those missiles sleeping in the ditch You have no goddamn right to do the things you do The world would be a better place if we were rid of you Of rage and war (4 times) War broods in foreign lands Missiles launch upon command Islam Lebanon what the hell is going on Ambassadors who say they try Negotiating suicide Are they prepared to face the end Of rage and war

From morning to night I stayed out of sight Didn't recognize I'd become No more than alive I'd barely survive In a word...overrun Won't hear a sound From my mouth I've spent too long On the inside out My skin is cold To the human touch This bleeding heart's Not beating much I murmured a vow of silence and now I don't even hear when I think aloud Extinguished by the light I turn on the night Wear its darkness with an empty smile I'm creeping back to life My nervous system all awry I'm wearing the inside out Look at him now He's paler somehow But he's coming around He's starting to choke It's been so long since he spoke Well he can have the words right from my mouth And with these words I can see Clear through the clouds that covered me Just give it time then speak my name Now we can hear ourselves again I'm holding out For the day When all the coulds Have blown away I'm with you now Can speak your name Now we can hear Ourselves again He's curled into the corner But still the screen is flickering With an endless stream of garbage to...curse the place In a sea of random images The self-destructing animal Waiting for the waves to break He's standing on the threshold Caught in fiery anger And hurled into the furnace he'll...curse the place He's torn in all directions And still the screen is flickering Waiting for the flames to break

Doctor Doctor what is wrong with me This supermarket life is getting long What is the heart life of a colour TV What is the shelf life of a teenage queen Ooh western woman Ooh western girl News hound sniffs the air When Jessica Hahn goes down He latches on to that symbol of detachment Attracted by the peeling away of feeling The celebrity of the abused shell the belle Ooh western woman Ooh western girl And the children of Melrose Strut their stuff Is absolute zero cold enough And out in the valley warm and clean The little ones sit by their TV screens No thoughts to think No tears to cry All sucked dry Down to the very last breath Bartender what is wrong with me? Why am I so out of breath? The captain said excuse me ma'am This species has amused itself to death Amused itself to death Amused itself to death We watched the tragedy unfold We did as we were told We bought and sold It was the greatest show on earth But then it was over We ohhed and aahed We drove our racing cars We ate our last few jars of caviar And somewhere out there in the stars A keen-eyed look-out Spied a flickering light Our last hurrah Our last hurrah And when they found our shadows Grouped around the TV sets They ran down every lead They repeated every test They checked out all the data on their lists And then the alien anthropologists Admitted they were still perplexed But on eliminating every other reason For our sad demise They logged the explanation left This species has amused itself to death No tears to cry, no feelings left This species has amused itself to death (switch channels) [Alf Razzell:] "Years later, I saw Bill Hubbard's name on the memorial to the missing at Aras. And I...when I saw his name I was absolutely transfixed; it was as though he...he was now a human being instead of some sort of nightmarish memory of how I had to leave him, all those years ago. And I felt relieved, and ever since then I've felt happier about it, because always before, whenever I thought of him, I said to myself, 'Was there something else that I could have done?' [background: "I'd rather die, I'd rather die..."] And that always sort of worried me. And having seen him, and his name in the register - as you know in the memorials there's a little safe, there's a register in there with every name - and seeing his name and his name on the memorial; it sort of lightened my...heart, if you like." [woman:] "When was it that you saw his name on the memorial?" [Alf:] "Ah, when I was eighty-seven, that would be the year, ninete...eighty-four, nineteen eighty-four."

I haven't thought about you for awhile It seemed so far away I keep your picture hidden in a file Of favorite one act plays Like pieces of myself Cut off in desperation As offerings to thee I keep them on a shelf They're good for conversation Over a cup of tea, yeah, cup of tea I put it all down in a letter once A letter I don't send It made me feel much better at the time I thought it'd help me mend The pieces of myself Cut off in desperation As offerings to thee, yeah I keep them on a shelf They're good for conversation Over a cup of tea, yeah, cup of tea

There In the dark There¹s a child and she¹s waiting Lost in the maze of a fait accompli Is it a crime to be just hesitating While we¹re pretending that we never see On a TV mounted on the wall From this distance I can see it all And I¹ve been out here Watching you Watching you fall Is there a trick to the art of not feeling Safe in our world while another¹s child bleeds Praying that God won¹t demand a redealing Of cards we have held and pretend you don¹t need On a TV mounted on the wall From this distance I can see it all And I¹ve been out here Watching you Watching you fall Better not think about it In time we¹ll start to doubt it Christ has risen Keep him hidden God forbid he sees It¹s not that we lack the vision Only just a quick decision Who will blame us Rules restrain us It¹s all in history So close my eyes and pretend I am sleeping Avoiding the chance that you¹ll visit my dreams On a TV mounted on the wall From this distance I can see it all And I¹ve been out here Watching you fall

I don¹t know where the years have gone Memories can only last so long Like faded photographs, forgotten songs And the things I never knew When the skin is thin, the heart shows through Please believe me what I tell you is true Where¹s the light, turn then on again One more night to believe and then Another note for my requiem A memory to carry on The story¹s over when the crowds are gone All my friends have been crucified They made life a long suicide true Guess we never figured out the rules But I¹m still alive and my fingers feel I¹m gonna play on till the final reel¹s through And read the credits from a different view Where¹s the lights, turn them on again One more night to believe and then Another note for my requiem A memory to carry on The story¹s over when the crowds are gone When the crowds are gone And I¹m all alone Playing a final song Now that the lights are gone Turn them on again One more time for me my friend Turn them on again I never wanted to know Never wanted to see I wasted my time till time wasted me Never wanted to go Always wanted to stay Cause the person I am are the parts that I play So I play and I plan And hope and I scheme To the lure of a night Filled with unfinished dreams And I¹m holding on tight To a world gone astray As they charge me for years I can no longer pay And the lights Turn them off my friend And the ghosts Well just let them in Cause in the dark It¹s easier to see

Nighttime again Seems I'm my only friend Wander the streets alone The lost in search of his own Once again I've played the clown Used my friends and let them down Walk the streets just staring out Late at night the strange come out Time, time, time again I'm just looking for a friend But no one seems to be around Just this monkey that I've found Still he is my only friend And tonight he grins again Tonight he grins again Oh yeah Tonight he grins again It's cold this pain It's burning inside my veins I walk away A shadow of Dorian Gray Once again I've played the clown Used my friends and let them down Walk the streets staring out Late at night the strange come out Time, time, time again I'm just looking for a friend No one seems to be around Just this monkey that I've found Still he is my only friend And tonight he grins again Tonight he grins again Oh yeah Tonight he grins again Oooh, livin' on the... edge
