Spirit '91

Take a walk go downtown

move slowly and take care

Look around and think about it,

what they tell you everywhere

Monuments of glory,

monuments of fame

Shouldn't we believe in your dream

A glimmering world? It's blowing a gale

The invisible sun? Another fairy-tale

Bewildered thoughts in '91

There isn't anyone

Beggars on the left side

pious politicians on the right

Golden doors and diamonds

children killing children just aside

Advocate of freedom

of justice and of peace

Shouldn't we believe in your dream

A glimmering world? It's blowing a gale

The invisible sun? Another fairy-tale

Bewildered thoughts in '91

There isn't anyone

You've coloured yourself as beautiful

as beautiful as can be

But now your paint is peeling off

it's your face that I see

With your arts of deception

you've made the world go blind

But we are you, we are you America

take a look behind

Shouldn't we find the spirit

A glimmering world? It's blowing a gale

Shouldn't we find the spirit

The invisible sun? Another fairy-tale

Shouldn't we find the spirit

Running like an eagle on the last days of fall

The faster you run the less you feel yourself

smashin' on the wall
