| 11. AFGHAN Just like the children's sand pit Just like the wild wild west At random choose a target It's not enough to be second best So now you wanna fight him The weaker one is always wrong Yeah now you wanna fight him A real man's gotta show the world he's strong So show the world you're strong Stuck up, abuse of power That's part of a leaders role "We only take what's ours" A slick line to stay in control Hate breeds more hate it's easy to understand To retaliate, to be a true macho man Goes hand in hand So now you wanna fight him The weaker one is always wrong Yeah now you wanna fight him A real man's gotta show the world he's strong So show the world you're strong The weaker one is wrong And I know it won't take long Until they're dead and gone So now you wanna fight him The weaker one is always wrong Yeah now you wanna fight him A real man's gotta show he's strong So now you wanna fight The weaker one is always wrong Yeah now you gotta fight him A real man's gotta show the world he's strong So show the world you're strong You gotta show the world you're... Show the world you're strong You gotta show the world you're strong. 12. GREENER GRASS I'm not harmonic I can't reach self-esteem That's quite ironic Coz I thought I'd be living my dream I don't feel supersonic I don't drive in the lane of whipped cream I'm more like a chronic ignorantly swimming upstream what can I do to be happy? I have problems to decide When it looks to me the grass is greener On the other side How do I live for the moment when I always wanna be elsewhere? How do I reach a fullfilment when i'm crashed and got repairs? Why is my only amusement giving other people my despair? why do I give jealous judgement on another's affair? I wanna get satisfaction just like the Stones and manu Chao Gotta ignore all rejectiong I wanna be close to the action I wanna live my life now For this correction I need direction gotta find it within myself somehow So maybe one day I'll be happy But until then I have to realize That the grass is not always greener It's only up to me to recognize That the grass is not always greener Coz the grass will never be greener On the other side 13. HOME FROM HOME For six weeks I had this job cleaning the local hospital The pay was o.k. but I didn't like to swab So I changed it for my bass guitar Boredom was my companion stuck to me like glue But I broke the bond to make some dreams come true Like a street to a hustler, a face to the soul It's like the one and only place we can control It's our reality, not just a poem It's the place that we call home For some time I went to school tried to learn what's right and wrong I didn't like their schemes I couldn't buy their rules so I went back to where I belong You gotta love the sound of that guitar and the bass That snare it sounds like gunfire it's like a thousand decibel punch in the face Like a street to a hustler, a face to the soul It's like the one and only place we can control It's our reality, not just a poem It's the place that we call home East or west? Well, home is the best! Though I sometimes feel like a clown But i've also had some feeling. Yes! That I'm unstoppable and that no one can bring me down! Like a street to a hustler, a face to the soul It's like the one and only place we can control It's our reality, not just a poem It's the place that we call home Step right in Erase what's on your mind Step right in Leave everything behind Leave it behind |
