Flicker

Every time I watch TV on the news is something major
I'm a prisoner, set me free turn this atoll into vapour
Genocide put on the side it's always new
Politicians want to share their point of view

United Nations are demanding
Foreign troops have made a landing
City dealers at an auction shares are falling fast
Suicide is not an option waiting for the crash

I walk this wild road can you tell me
Will I reach the end
This endless night goes on
But I still can't find my way home

Misguided youth are mixing juice with alcohol
Desert states are praying for the rains to fall
Peace in Ireland is an issue
Goodbye bombs we're gonna miss you
The southern ice has almost gone
The silly fools just carry on

I walk this wild road can you tell me will I reach the end
This endless night goes on but I still can't find my way home
I walk this wild road can you tell me will I reach the end
This endless night goes on but still I carry on

This world's out of reach but I don't want it
The people are creeps that live here on it
It's always the same it's not gonna change
When we go to school with Saddam Hussein

I'd cry all night if I could change it
Ask Jesus Christ could He arrange it?
Is there anyone out there who cares?
If a child can run free
Can a girl walk the street, will United get beat?
