On the air, words of wisdom spread across this land
and nod your heads in faithful trust in me, trust me So senseless - there's no doubt about it So senseless - when you hear the latest news So senseless - you'll accept my opinion So senseless - as plain facts and truth TV sets and the radio, we bring real life to your homes This is the question of trust Politicians, talking 'bout affairs that don't concern you Just close your eyes and drift away, trust me So senseless - identical faces So senseless - the same stupid talk So senseless - let's fight for entertainment So senseless - then have a drink at the bar Switch on the TV and you will find life's so much brighter with us This is the question of trust Question of trust Question of trust Question of trust Question of... Switch on the TV and you will find life's so much brighter with us Come home from work, feeling weary and out. We kill your boredom and thoughts Pay some more bucks for a fifty-inch screen. Our second hand world will seem real This is a question of trust 02. The Principle Of Doubt Music by Björn Eklund Lyrics by Mekong Delta
The old bum over there holds a sign saying
The only way for you to live never stop trying A little boy hands a note over to me The message there on that note is simple and clear Don't ever leave the path you have been walking on Don't ever change the ways of getting along No chance for you to escape from your destination Choose between good and bad and make your own decision Just be true to yourself and things will be comin' Don't ever try to make them smile at you For in return they'll turn their back on you A prophecy that's what I say And you'll find out some day A chosen one that's what you are Some day your bound to find your way You'll fight in a world that don't seen real You'll have to fight in that world you don't believe in Don't you try to resist for things will be comin' Hit by a car in the streets of deserted town Wake up in your dreams wondering where you're around I will be lord of this land I will be ruler of this land No one can stop me anyway This will all be mine some day And you can't run away Away from your destiny Now you can't deny The part you're bound to play Run but you can't get away Run but you won't change your fate Don't try to hideaway I'll wait for you someday 03. Once I Believed Music by Björn Eklund Lyrics by Mekong Delta
Here's a wired tale of madness
About what happened to me I led a live full of luxury Till I broke down on my knees Cadillacs and furcoats A mansion by the sea Then lady luck walked away Left me in misery Once I believed This couldn't happen to me But now But now Everything has changed A six inch blade cut through my hand On that fatal day Then the doctor told me Slow death is coming my way My woman went away People ignoring me Razorblades in my bread The folks in town wished I was dead Once I believed This couldn't happen to me But now But now Everything has changed What they say They don't want me around in this town Don't want me Don't want me We don't want you Don't want me Once I believed This couldn't happen to me But now But now Everything has changed What they say They don't want me around in this town Don't want me Don't want me We don't want you Don't want me 04. Ever Since Time Began Music by Björn Eklund Lyrics by Mekong Delta
Way back in ancient days
I took the shape of a golden idol They knelt in front of me Worshipped me; Prayed to me I saw the greed in their eyes Longing - fame and fortune Yearning - wine and women Craving - gold and happiness Demanding - Eternal life, eternal life I saw them burning down Cities and countries They killed millions of men To please me; to calm me down I saw the greed in their eyes Longing - fame and fortune Yearning - wine and women Craving - gold and happiness Demanding - Eternal life, eternal life I've been around for so long Their faith and devotion make me strong I saw them burning down Cities and countries They killed millions of men To please me; to calm me down I saw the greed in their eyes Longing - fame and fortune Yearning - wine and women Craving - gold and happiness Demanding - Eternal life, eternal life They've prayed at my altar With heads bowed real low And I've been around Where ever they go Where ever they go Until the end The end of time There's no escape How I like your Sacrifices Ever since time began Ever since time began 05. Curse Of Reality Music by Björn Eklund Lyrics by Mekong Delta
Ambitious
I am Gonna save this world Drums beatin' Soldiers marchin' Don't stand in our way Over the hills We march The final showdown is near I am chosen To be Saviour of this world Marching on Through this land My dreams They'll all come true I will never ever fail We just do what's right We will never die The world ain't real The weak one cries Soon he'll face the truth Over the hills We march The final showdown is here Dawn is here But what I see I simply can't believe Soldiers, soldiers, soldiers everywhere As far as I can see Billions of enemies Bound to tear my world apart Now that I face the facts I gotta realize Something must have been wrong from the start I can see Them smile at me I know the end is near That's the curse of reality Curse of reality 06.

07. Shades Of Doom Music by Björn Eklund Lyrics by Mekong Delta
Can't control
My hands and feet Conditioned to be a human machine Can't control My thoughts and needs Memories erased.......... My brain won't work allright no more Without this chip inside my head The things I see I can't define Responsibility seems strange to me Fear - I'm a victim of the latest Shock - Gene technology Fear - I'm trained to be a robot Shock - To serve society Fear - I never ask no questions Shock - I never cause a doubt Fear - I don't know what's going on and what it's all about I gotta know The reason why I can't receive no signals anymore Seems like I'm left alone in a dying world.......... I did my job all night and day Now everything has gone astray There's emptiness inside my head I realize I've been long gone dead Fear - Foreign determination Shock - And the happiness I've known Fear - Have faded with the signals Shock - From my master's room Fear - All wires disconnected Shock - I see the shades of doom Fear - Standing by the ruins fills my heart with gloom I did my job all night and day Now everything has gone astray There's emptiness inside my head I realize I've been long gone dead Fear - I'm a victim of the latest Shock - Gene technology Fear - I'm trained to be a robot Shock - To serve society Fear - I never ask no questions Shock - I never cause a doubt Fear - I don't know what's going on and what it's all about 08. The Jester Music by Björn Eklund Lyrics by Mekong Delta
I'm a member of the motley crew
Pleasing the rich and kings When I make 'em laugh Nobody even cares What's inside my mind Don't seen to get what I'm looking for And I can't stand it anymore Can't you see Can't you see I sit and wait till the big boss's calling me How I wish I could hideaway You'll see me smile But I'm hurt inside How I wish I could break away I can't stand it anymore Don't wanna play the fool no more Gotta break away Gotta break away When you gaze at me It's like a look into a mirror And here is what you're bound to see Someone like you Leading a kind Of life that's killing me I'm gonna get what I'm yearning for Break out and play my part no more Here is what I say Here is what I say Don't drag me down Don't push me around Don't drag me down Don't push me around I'm gonna get what I'm yearning for Break out and play my part no more Here is what I say Here is what I say Don't drag me down Don't push me around Don't drag me down Don't push me around I'll be just what I wanna be Wanna be disperately I'll be just what I wanna be Wanna be disperately 09.

10. No Friend Of Mine Music by Björn Eklund Lyrics by Mekong Delta
Lights turned low
Curtains let down Ain't no one else in sight Waitin' for you Just for you Four walls get closer everyday We've been friends for so long And no one will ever know Like the phoenix from the ashes You came to haunt my dreams And I think I know You'll never let me go You'll never let me go You're a part of me You belong to me You know my secrets All my emotions Nothing I can hide We'll stay together Cause we can't stay apart Though I know someday we are through We've been friends for so long And no one will ever know Like the phoenix from the ashes You came to haunt my dreams And I think I know You'll never let me go You'll never let me go You're a part of me You belong to me Now you've gone too far Now you're grown to strong The ceiling is caving in You've been here for much too long Dark walls all around I see Getting closer, closer to me Won't let you go I got a split up mind Can't let you go Ooh, you drive me insane Won't let you go Please, please let me go Can't let you go Cause you're killing me Won't let you go Why do you do that to me Can't let you go Why don't you set me free Won't let you go I'm paralized in my bed Can't let you go Pain's creeping right through my head Won't let you go Why don't you leave me be Can't let you go You are the death of me SPLIT PERSONALITY |
