It’s a turf war on a global scale –
I’d rather hear both sides of the tale
Life is all around
Why you lookin’ down?
Life is all around
So look up, look up
I’m like a bird without a song
I could see the city light –
Wind was blowing, time stood still –
Eagle flew out of the night –
He was something to observe –
Came in close, I heard a voice
Spaceboy, you’re sleepy now –
Your silhouette is so stationary
Under pressure, that brings a building down –
Splits a family in two
It’s the terror of knowing
what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming,
“let me out“
To escape the world,
I’ve got to enjoy that simple dance –
And it seemed that everything was on my side
We just want to dance here,
someone stole the stage
I’ve been searching for something,
taken out of my soul –
Something I would never lose –
Something somebody stole
I wage my war, on the world inside –
I take my gun to the enemy’s side
Oh, I’ve been asking for –
Oh, I’ve been asking for
problems, problems, problems
If you can judge a wise man
by the color of his skin –
Then mister you’re a better man than I
If it ain’t truth, it’s philosophy –
You better use your words properly
