Текст песни "God (London)" |
god created the world
then created the devil to blame for his mistakes
I closed the door of my hotel room behind me
it was like closing a chapter in the book of life
outside 30 floors below I could hear the police
using their sirens like wolf whistles to pick up young girls
on tv Oliver North his 15 minutes of fame
ticking steadily away was being fuzzy about crucial events
which had happened a year earlier- what a flake
but then who isn't
that was Reagan's defense at least
the worst thing is how politics begins to leak into your life
back in our innocence we used to simply stick two fingers up
say "Fuck Off" that was about all you had to say anyway
and then go back to the more important business of making music
so why was I sitting there feeling angry about covert operations
and illegal aid to the contras
I mean I'm not even American
but maybe we all are a little bit
and then I realized it was just the thought
that in this particular democracy
and probably every other one in the world
there is somebody in power who thinks he is more right
then all the people who put him there
all the people who for once in their lives took an interest
outside the wind was howling the who-whos
from sympathy for the devil
round and round the concrete hotel walls and corners
