Difficult To Cure

There's a light in the sky that hangs on the edge of illusion
Something very fine but it's something you know is there
Mystery of time hidden by a man of confusion
But the hand is quicker than the eye
Only the stranger knows why
'cos it's magic
You know it's magic that you'll find
You see it's magic
I know who you are and there's magic in you

Keep your eye on the man
And don't look away for a moment
How is it done how does he make me see
Something up his sleeve when speaks you want to believe him
But the hand is quicker than the eye
Only the stranger knows why
'cos it's magic
Can' you see it's magic that you'll find
You know it's magic
I know who you are and there's magic in you

Driven by a force
Moving in another dimension
Here for today, gone for eternity
Seeking for truth hidden by the word of his wisdom
But the hand is quicker than the eye
Only the stranger knows why
Can't you feel it's magic
You know it's magic that you'll find
I said it's magic
I know who you are and there's magic in you

Contaminated fish and micro chips
Huge supertankers on arabian trips
Oily propaganda from the leaders' lips
All about the future
There's people over here, people over there
Everybody's looking for a little more air
Crossing all the borders just to take their share
Planning for the future

And we're so abused, and we're so confused
It's easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse
Can't happen here, can't happen here
All that you fear they're telling you, can't happen here

Supersonic planes for a holiday boom
Rio de janeiro in an afternoon
People out of work but there's people on the moon
Looking for the future
Concrete racktracks nationwide
Juggernauts carving up the countryside
Cars by the million on a one way ride
Using up the future

And we're so abused, and we're so confused
It's easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse
Can't happen here, can't happen here
All that you fear they're telling you, can't happen here

Satellites spying for the cia
The kgb and the men in grey
Wonder if i'm gonna see another day
Somewhere in the future
We got everything we need for a peaceful time
Take what you want but you can't take mine
Everybody's living on the siegfried line
Worried 'bout the future
And we're so abused, and we're so confused
It's so easy to believe that someone's gonna light it
Easy to believe someone's gonna light the fuse
Can't happen here, can't happen here
All that you fear they're telling you, can't happen here can it?

You don't know what's happening, you want to go home
But there's nowhere to hide
You walk out on stage, your first time alone
The crowd's going wild
And you feel so alive
You could stand up and take this all night
They love you but you're in love with the spotlight
You're the spotlight kid

Jokers and women they hang 'round your door
They're all part of the scene
Just like a junkie you've got to have more
It's a pleasure machine
And you fly every night
But the dressing room mirror don't lie
They love you but you're in love with the spotlight
You're the spotlight kid

Your audience died, faded away
Leaving you on the stage
It's been so many years since that first matinee
It seems like an age
Encore one more time

For the ghosts of the past in your mind
They love you but you're in love with the spotlight
You're the spotlight kid
You're living in a dream
You're the spotlight kid
You're in love with the spotlight

You can't control me tell me what to do
Chained in mediocrity so i can be like you
I am not a statue not part of a machine
I'm sick and tired of the whole routine
Calculate your future, computerise your past
Instant replay if it's gone too fast
Take away my freedom, take away my home
I'm only human but it might now show
I'm not made of stone

I'm a freedom fighter i got something to say
I'm a freedom fighter get out of my way

Hide behind your politics, hide behind your rules
Tell me i'm a man but you treat me like a fool
It's the same old story with a different name
You give us all a number and nothing changes
Out in the winter of a world upon it's knees
Everyone is watching but no one sees
You can't take my freedom you know it is my right
If you try and stop me i'm gonna fight
With all of my might

I'm a freedom fighter and i'm taking command
I'm a freedom fighter and i'm making a stand

Fighting for breath as the world gathers speed
Time's running out for the things that i need

I'm a freedom fighter i gotta take a stand
I'm a freedom fighter, yeah that's what i am
I'm a freedom fighter i can't take it no more
I'm a freedom fighter no no more
I'm a freedom fighter but i'm not afraid
I'm a freedom fighter get out of my way.
