We all have secret lives in our secret rooms
Living in our movies, humming our own tunes
Living life in camera, when the night is closing down
Sliding into darkness, you could be like me
Where are you going?
What are you doing?
Why are you looking at the camera's eye?
Where are you staying?
When are you leaving?
We watch you breathing through the camera's eye
We all make up our faces, the makeup of the clown
Happy leaving traces of our childish background
Pointing at the sky, we can watch the stars
You think you're all alone, but you never are
Where are you going?
What are you doing?
Why are you looking at the camera's eye?
Where are you staying?
When are you leaving?
We watch you breathing through the camera's eye
They ain't watching you
They ain't watching you now
They ain't watching you
They ain't watching you
Now
They ain't watching you
They ain't watching you now
They ain't watching you
They ain't watching you
Now
Where are you going?
What are you doing?
Why are you looking at the camera's eye?
Political sleazes
Sexual divas
We watch your heart beating through the camera's eye
Where are you going?
What are you doing?
Why are you looking at the camera's eye?

We watch your heart beating through the camera's eye

| Son of a gun |
|---|
Holy was the preacher
Riding on his rig of steel in the rising sun
This was no grim reaper - but a man with a
Smile who took a pride in a job well done
Ooh in a blood red sunrise
He's preaching conversion, as you lay down and die
A God given holy roller
In a God forsaken land
He didn't choose this killing ground
He didn't want this scrap of land
He's gonna scorch the earth
And make the rivers run dry
Until we learn to hate like him
To kill for killing - live to die
Ride on you son of a gun, ride on,
ride into the setting sun
You gotta be a hero
For one last time
To prove through your destruction
Killing is a great way of life
There's a wooden cross somewhere
Where they'll bury you down deep
You lie to your people - you lie to yourself
You're in love with death - you've got no shame
The preacher laughed - the preacher cried
He loadded bullets as he smiled
The congregation sat and wondered would they live or
Would they die ?
Just an ordonary man - with his orders and his plans
In the shadows of a cross
Ooh in a blood red sunrise
Take me to Jesus - with Judas my guide
[Chorus]
Ride on you bleeding heart
Ride on you play no part
ride on you feel no pity
Ride on you feel no pain
Ride on into history

| Tears of a dragon |
|---|
For too long now, there were secrets in my mind
For too long now, there were things I should have said
In the darkness...I was stumbling for the door
To find a reason - to find the time, the place, the hour
Waiting for the winter sun, and the cold light of day
The misty ghosts of childhood fears
The pressure is building, and I can't stay away
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me
Where I was, I had wings that couldn't fly
Where I was, I had tears I couldn't cry
My emotions frozen in an icy lake
I couldn't feel them until the ice began to break
I have no power over this, you know I'm afraid
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, I'm slipping away...
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me
Slowly I awake, slowly I rise
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, I'm slipping away...
I throw (I throw)
Myself (myself)
Into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face (to face)
The fear (the fear)
I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me
I throw (I throw)
Myself (myself)
Into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face (to face)
The fear (the fear)
I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me

You can sail in the desert with a ship of fools
You can smuggle in Moses and his book of rules
But you can't take a mother and give her back her son
What kind of freedom is bought with a gun?
People like to build their prison walls
When they're afraid to look inside a...
Thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold
Political speeches, they're lying in the mud
Nothing else matters but money and blood
Tyranny of freedom is do what you like
There's a world gone crazy, 'cos it can't say no
People like to build their prison walls
When they're afraid to look inside a...
Thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold
A thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold
[George Bush:]
"What is it that produces the light?"
"What is it that makes these thousand points of light shine?"
"What is it that will make America a kinder and gentler nation?"
"Perhaps I should ask who, who is it?"
There should be time for love
But there's too much room for hate
Too much sliding of the truth
Too much abuse of wasted youth
There's a time for dying
And a time for living, too
Had enough of media lies
Had enough of your alibis
A thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold
Thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold...

| Sacred cowboys |
|---|
(woo, hey)
Mira, mira, mira, andale, andale, yeah-ow!
[Spoken:]
With a sense of irony, everyone you see
Is chasing their illusions
Take a dive, or sink, or swim
But in the end you're in the same pollution
In your world, escape is swift
The nonsense list is all you need to know
In the land of dreams, you make the right connections
Then you'll be the hero...ecstasy
The cult of "me" provides our institutions
You can live forever with a grave that stands
Where people used to function
You can join the saviors of our culture
Vultures circling overhead my sky
Like the sin of gluttony won't set you free
(But Betty Ford can help you try)
You can get all the things you never needed
You can sell people crap and make them eat it
But where is our John Wayne?
Where's our sacred cowboy now?
Where are the Indians on the hill?
There's no Indians left to kill
[Spoken:]
People die with oxygen
And all their money can't afford a breath
People starving everywhere
And staring in the face of death
Prostitutes and politicians
Lying in their bed together
You can be the savior of the poor
Making up the policies to open up the back door...
You can get all the things you never needed
You can sell people crap and make them eat it
Where is our John Wayne?
Where's our sacred cowboys now?
Where are the Indians on the hill?
There's no Indians left to kill
Where is our John Wayne?
Where's our sacred cowboy now?
Where are the Indians on the hill?
There's no Indians left to kill
You can get all the things you never needed
You can sell people crap and make them eat it
Eat it
There is no John Wayne
Where's our sacred cowboys now?
Where are the Indians on the hill?
There's no Indians left to kill
Where is our John Wayne?
Where's our sacred cowboy now?
Where are the Indians on the hill?
There's no Indians left to...
Kill

| Tattooed millionaire |

Tattooed boys with expensive toys
Living in a bubble of sin
Money can buy you most of anything
Fix your nose or the mess you're in
Front page news you can share your views
With a population that wants to be like you
Out on the strip - out on the tiles
Same old greed behind the P.R. smile
You and all your entourage - to me you're all the same
Tome
You and all you're entourage - playing fooling games
I don't want your big city shining
I don't want your silver lining
I don't wanna be a tattooed millionaire
He's got a wifre- she ain't no brain child
Ex mud Queen of Miami
In his stretch Cadillac he keeps her in the back
With his CD player and his bottle of Jack
L.A. dude L.A. attitude
Laid back selfish and getting fat
Body guards porn stars gold credit cards
Using each other - running for cover

Born in a mining town in 58
When black and white T.V. was up to date
And men were still around
Who fought for freedom - stood thier ground and die
That I could be alive
And see the damage that we've manage since
In this sceptred isle
Is nothing sacred - but the one square mile
Justice and liberty
You can buy - but you don't get free
In a world of steel and glass
We bury our past
On and on - we slept til dawn
When we awoke - we hardly spoke
My grandfather taught me how to fight
Old fashioned stuff like wrong and right
But all around I see his morals
Buried in a mess of money trouble
Born in a mining town in 58
When black and white T.V. was up to date
And men were still around
Who fought for freedom - stood their dround and die
Justice and liberty
You can buy - but you don't get free

Always let you down
Always fooled around
Always stealing your own way
Life just seems too short
Life lived in the dirt
Kicked in the teeth is what you meant to say
Fighting battles, never fired off a shot
(When you) step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you've caused
Trouble's coming back for more
Living on the edge
A blind man kneels on broken glass
Building the bars of his own cage
Running circles till you drop
Hating life until it stops
Kicked in the teeth is what you meant to say
Fighting battles, never fired off a shot
(When you) step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you've caused
Trouble's coming back for more

Here I sit, alone in a window
The rain falls down on the glass in the cold
All my life, I've been waiting for a moment
It never came - maybe never will
Ah, sometimes I don't know
Those days are gone
Lord, I hide where I just can't say
I'm still there, catching your tears
Before they fall to the ground
You, you're walking away
You couldn't stay
You need a change of heart
You, you're walking away
You couldn't stay
You need a change of heart
(yeah)
Trees are bare - the earth, it is hard
I wait for winter - soft winter and snow
Those days are gone
Now I hide where I just can't say
I'll be there, catching your tears
Before they fall to the ground
You, you're walking away
You couldn't stay
You need a change of heart
You, you're walking away
You couldn't stay
You need a change of heart
And I know, wherever you go
I'll be around, yeah
I'll be there, catching your tears
Before they fall to the ground

I'm still there, watching your tears
As they fall to the ground
You, you're walking away
You couldn't stay

Screaming "hell, hell no"
Oh, where do we belong?
In this place where we fight
Oh, where did we go wrong?

| Tears of a dragon |
|---|
For too long now, there were secrets in my mind
For too long now, there were things I should have said
In the darkness...I was stumbling for the door
To find a reason - to find the time, the place, the hour
Waiting for the winter sun, and the cold light of day
The misty ghosts of childhood fears
The pressure is building, and I can't stay away
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me
Where I was, I had wings that couldn't fly
Where I was, I had tears I couldn't cry
My emotions frozen in an icy lake
I couldn't feel them until the ice began to break
I have no power over this, you know I'm afraid
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, I'm slipping away...
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me
Slowly I awake, slowly I rise
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, I'm slipping away...
I throw (I throw)
Myself (myself)
Into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face (to face)
The fear (the fear)
I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me
I throw (I throw)
Myself (myself)
Into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face (to face)
The fear (the fear)
I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me

I've been down at the crazy house
I've been playing with the cat and the mouse
I've been down, I've been down
I've seen the crazy people running around
Shoot all the clowns
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot all the clowns
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Welcome to the circus where I fool around

Cover up your face - you've been found out
You laugh when there's nothing to smile about
Shoot all the clowns
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down

Wanna gimme money? Well you better get ready
I'm a certified friend of John Paul Getty
I'm a fat stargazer, I'm an all-night raver
I'm an anything-you-wanna-be, if I can get your sympathy
Welcome to the circus, I'm a killer clown
Welcome to the circus, hey, gather 'round
2 sides to life, 2 sides to fun
The one who does it and the one that gets done
Shoot all the clowns
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down

| Sacred cowboys |
|---|
(woo, hey)
Mira, mira, mira, andale, andale, yeah-ow!
[Spoken:]
With a sense of irony, everyone you see
Is chasing their illusions
Take a dive, or sink, or swim
But in the end you're in the same pollution
In your world, escape is swift
The nonsense list is all you need to know
In the land of dreams, you make the right connections
Then you'll be the hero...ecstasy
The cult of "me" provides our institutions
You can live forever with a grave that stands
Where people used to function
You can join the saviors of our culture
Vultures circling overhead my sky
Like the sin of gluttony won't set you free
(But Betty Ford can help you try)
You can get all the things you never needed
You can sell people crap and make them eat it
But where is our John Wayne?
Where's our sacred cowboy now?
Where are the Indians on the hill?
There's no Indians left to kill
[Spoken:]
People die with oxygen
And all their money can't afford a breath
People starving everywhere
And staring in the face of death
Prostitutes and politicians
Lying in their bed together
You can be the savior of the poor
Making up the policies to open up the back door...
You can get all the things you never needed
You can sell people crap and make them eat it
Where is our John Wayne?
Where's our sacred cowboys now?
Where are the Indians on the hill?
There's no Indians left to kill
Where is our John Wayne?
Where's our sacred cowboy now?
Where are the Indians on the hill?
There's no Indians left to kill
You can get all the things you never needed
You can sell people crap and make them eat it
Eat it
There is no John Wayne
Where's our sacred cowboys now?
Where are the Indians on the hill?
There's no Indians left to kill
Where is our John Wayne?
Where's our sacred cowboy now?
Where are the Indians on the hill?
There's no Indians left to...
Kill

| Son of a gun |
|---|
Holy was the preacher
Riding on his rig of steel in the rising sun
This was no grim reaper - but a man with a
Smile who took a pride in a job well done
Ooh in a blood red sunrise
He's preaching conversion, as you lay down and die
A God given holy roller
In a God forsaken land
He didn't choose this killing ground
He didn't want this scrap of land
He's gonna scorch the earth
And make the rivers run dry
Until we learn to hate like him
To kill for killing - live to die
Ride on you son of a gun, ride on,
ride into the setting sun
You gotta be a hero
For one last time
To prove through your destruction
Killing is a great way of life
There's a wooden cross somewhere
Where they'll bury you down deep
You lie to your people - you lie to yourself
You're in love with death - you've got no shame
The preacher laughed - the preacher cried
He loadded bullets as he smiled
The congregation sat and wondered would they live or
Would they die ?
Just an ordonary man - with his orders and his plans
In the shadows of a cross
Ooh in a blood red sunrise
Take me to Jesus - with Judas my guide
[Chorus]
Ride on you bleeding heart
Ride on you play no part
ride on you feel no pity
Ride on you feel no pain
Ride on into history

| Tattooed millionaire |
|---|
Tattooed boys with expensive toys
Living in a bubble of sin
Money can buy you most of anything
Fix your nose or the mess you're in
Front page news you can share your views
With a population that wants to be like you
Out on the strip - out on the tiles
Same old greed behind the P.R. smile
You and all your entourage - to me you're all the same
Tome
You and all you're entourage - playing fooling games
I don't want your big city shining
I don't want your silver lining
I don't wanna be a tattooed millionaire
He's got a wifre- she ain't no brain child
Ex mud Queen of Miami
In his stretch Cadillac he keeps her in the back
With his CD player and his bottle of Jack
L.A. dude L.A. attitude
Laid back selfish and getting fat
Body guards porn stars gold credit cards
Using each other - running for cover
