The Bridgeheads - Fiction lyrics

I Disconnected must stay out of touch They'll silence you when you think too much Where you've grown up Where you see what you've done You wonder what he would be like Found among those missing ones Where you've grown up Where you see what you've done Post code wars lack sense Kids marching in the city of blades Where you've grown up Where you see what you've done II When I was a boy There were things I didn't know I trusted everyone I still want it to be so III I just wanna get out of this movie Characters seem void of any character to me They keep sending those men back in boxes "sometimes you're thinking too much" he said IV "And there is nowhere to hide" he said "nowhere to hide" he said "nowhere to hide" he said So better switch on your tv set "watch daily news" he said Be part of cabaret We know that king was a criminal International criminal So why's he at liberty And we know he was a criminal But we prefer ignorance Drums sax and violins V We lived in harmony On an island with our families But then came the military And we've become a colony They taught us how to speak They taught us how to think They taught us principles The highest principles But less than them We're less than them Still less than them We're less than them VI Another war has replaced another protest song And I am a powerless ant, a bit of a joke A joke. is my life a bit of a joke? The biggest companies endorse a king of yours He's just a puppet when they need or don't need war Or gold, no matter how you vote VII You better watch your mouth 'cos they will go through your garbage They will push you aside And one day you'll be gone 'cos proof means nothing at all You should be careful what you say 'cos they will go through your garbage They will push you aside Would you care when I'm gone 'an idealistic one' VIII Just forget it all now Just forget it all now It's just a song and And nothing more than Another song and it Means nothing more than Any other song man
