Flicker

(album: Twisted Tenderness - 1999)

Every time I watch TV
On the news is something major
I'm a prisoner, set me free
Turn this atoll into vapor
Genocide put on the side
It's always new
Politicians want to share their
Point of view

United nations are demanding
Foreign troops have made a landing
City dealers at an auction
Shares are falling fast
Suicide is not an option
Waiting for the crash

I walk this wild road
Can you tell me will I reach the end?
This endless night goes on
But I still can't find my way home

Misguided youth are mixing juice
With alcohol
Desert states are praying for the
Rains to fall peace

In Ireland is an issue
Goodbye, bombs, we're gonna miss you
The southern ice has almost gone
The silly fools just carry on

I walk this wild road
Can you tell me will I reach the end?
This endless night goes on
But I still carry on

This world's out of reach
But I don't want it
The people are creeps
That live here on it
It's always the same
It's not gonna change
When we go to school
With Sadam Hussein
I'd cry all night if I could change it
Ask Jesus Christ could he arrange?
It is there anyone out there who cares
If a child can run free?
Can a girl walk the street?
Will united get beat?
