Quickbourn - Globalize This lyrics

(Music: Thomas Kirschler) (Lyrics: AdMeyer) No one sees the things that I see Right before my open eyes Future winds are blowing icy Baby, what a big surprise Deep within and long forgotten Lies the truth we knew so well That if we just close our eyes We'll behold the gates of hell Someday in our father's land When our dreams have turned to sand We'll remind ourselves Life was something else When we still had a chance To change the world Globalize this! Globalize this! One day when our children ask me What I've done to save this planet I'll be running out of answers 'Cause they're so darn right, godammit! Tell my boy to not go playing Next to the atomic waste See his mother staring at him Tears roll down her weary face What have we done? What have we done? Someday when the future ends Will we finally understand That we had it all And still wanted more But the world we once knew Is gone for good Globalize this! Globalize this! Stay out of the sun And don't you stay outside too long 'Cause too much danger goes around out there my child! When the sun will set The hounds of darkness come to get A bite of flesh and bone Be home before tonight! Globalize this! Globalize this! Yeah, globalize this! Someday in our father's land When our dreams have turned to sand We'll remind ourselves Life was something else That we had it all And still wanted more
