Save
Save
Save from the butchers knife
Save from the experiments

Chorus
Don't be part of it
Don't be part of the killing
Don't be part of it
Don't be part of the killing

Save from the furriers track
Save from extinction

Share a right to life

As long as there are slaughter houses
There will be battle fields
As long as animals die in testing
We won't find humanity
Save
Save from the factory farms
Save from the cruelty

As long as there are slaughter houses
There will be battle fields
As long as animals die in testing
We won't find humanity

Save
Don't be part of it
Save
Don't be part of the killing
Save

Don't talk to me about ban the bomb
Don't talk to me about who's side i'm on
Replace the system with one just the same
Don't you know that we are all to blame

It's so easy as an armchair blamer
Get off your seat and make a personal change sir
Can't change the system by smashing it down
Inside route personal revolution

Chorus
Change the man
Rip out the root
Let's get rid of this insanity

When the mothers had told the kids straight
When the fathers felt no more hate
When a man can walk down the street without fear
Then thing must change and it's not too late

It's a cold world, it's a cruel world
When you haven't got no one to love
And all that poison builds up in your heart
Like a cancer killing a dove
You gotta stop that life [turning/turn it] upside down
You gotta find someone to take care of

I say, you're special
No one's ever felt this way
Life is so lonely
When you won't decide to stay

Here comes the [cruel/thrill] man [that/but don't] turn around
Like a spoke turning on the wheel
And it comes and it goes and nobody knows
If it's fake or if it's for real
When you find someone with a light in their eyes
And your heart you know they will steal

You say, i'm special
No one's ever felt this way
Life is so lonely
When you won't decide to stay

And when it comes to the end of day
And you lie sleeping here next to me
I look to you, and [some would say/softly say]:
Am i dreaming or are you really there?

I can't eat, i can't sleep
The face [around a fall/a rounded foe]

You say, i'm special
No one's ever felt this way
Life is so lonely
When you won't decide to stay

You say, you're special
No one's ever felt this way
Life is so lonely
When you won't decide to stay

Quickly checking what company he's in
Absorbing values like a chameleon
His rhythm and his method have got out of line
When you sit on a fence you get a sore behind

Must not upset the apple cart
He'll choose your views today
Having some kinda conflict
Seems to get right in his way

Chorus
Whoa...rubber morals
Whoa...rubber morals
Whoa...rubber morals, plasticine ideals
See how this one feels

The men in st. peters will not agree to a slipping
On his conscience like he slips on a johnnie
He's a part time socialist and a part time tycoon
Flags of convenience fly in his cocoon

Must not upset the apple cart
Preserve the status quo
His heart felt convictions
Left a long time ago

A sign over his bed will testify
Is there nothing in his life from which he'd live or die
A pale shade of grey lines a vacant head
With our condom-nation you are blessed

Must not upset the apple cart
He'll choose your views today
Having some kinda conflict
Seems to get right in his way

Where are the new rebels
We didn't ask for this
Trying to be something different
We will fight the bigots
Fight them with our reason
Fight them with our constancy

Chorus
River, our river, let it flow
This is our lamp light
Let it glow
River, river, let it flow
This is our reason
Let it grow

Don't keep looking back
Living in the past
Never built a golden future. have,
Have faith in the species
We've come to far to fail
I don't believe in our extinction

Everyone of us
Has got to take it on
Don't build a dam on evolution. there,
There are those who'd like us
To cling on to the past
Wallowing in their past glories

River, (don't)
Our river, (don't look back)
Let it flow (we might fall)
This is our lamp light
Let it glow (have faith in the future)
River, (don't)
River, (don't look back)
Let it flow (we might fall)
This is our reason
Let it grow

You're working overtime
You know it doesn't do you no good
You're slaving away for things that you need
Roof is falling down on 'round your head
You're backed against the wall
Living your whole damn life
At someone else's beck and call
On the edge of the [night/knife]
Aaaaahhhh, come on

Come in, you're bruised and battered
You need some time to heal
Step out of the bullet train
Set yourself down, i know how you feel
Slow down your racing pulses
Overthrow all your of fears
For an hour, be a simple man
And i'll be a good set of ears
Aaaaahhhh, come on

Chorus
Takin' the time to look
Takin' the time to feel
[when/will] you rewrite your open book
Allow the scars to heal
Takin' the time to look
Takin' the time to feel
[when/will] you rewrite your open book
Allow the scars to heal

You're movin' heaven and earth
And straining every nerve
Always working double time
Burn the midnight oil down to the last [resort/resolve/result]
You can't go your [snowy/showy room] anymore
Wind your smoked glass windows down
If you can't handle opening the door
Aaaaaahhhh, come on

Chorus
Takin' the time to look
Takin' the time to feel
[when/will] you rewrite your open book
Allow the scars to heal
Takin' the time to look
Takin' the time to feel
[when/will] you rewrite your open book
Allow the scars to heal

Will the moon keep shining on
Can you stop the world from turning
Stop running away from things that might fail you
You have what you need you are the one

You can't hold a person down
'cos the truth will find its opening
You must take it on the things you must feel
We all feel the same you are the one

Chorus
Roll right up and feel it see the world
Prison doors are open wide
See the world you need it

You were born with something special
You were forged in open fire
Stop running away form things that might fail you
You have what you need you are the one

By umberto tozzi
As sung by howard jones

I've never been more lonely.
The night is closing in.
I wish for monday morning and the people of the town to heal me,
Opening themselves
Like flowers to a cruel sun.
Going thru the motions
With no chance to show their deep emotion.

Chorus
When they sing and cry
When they live and die
Can't we see other people, those people are us

Angels live inside
Vultures try to hide
In the mirrors we see other people are us

The walls are falling down with the breath of an idea.
See allah in the church and jesus in the mosque.
Our world is turning.

Heros leave behind miles (minds?) of prejudice.
Cowards try to hold the easiness of our division.

Chorus

As the swallows fly thru leaves of africa
Do they cry as they witness our tears?
Will the hands of needs become the hand of greed?
There will be a time when those people are us.

Chorus x2

Living in the world of isolation
Of comfort and tranquility
But sooner or later in this whole world, those people are us

Chorus

Yes, we are all the same
The nations of the world
Young ones trapped by chemicals, no hope to carry on
The working families
Replaced by metal men
Travelers from the east in their suburban reservations
We are the victims
Of the ruling hands
There will come a time when those people are us

Chorus

People come together its time for a union
C'mon c'mon c'mon lets do it right
When the darkness takes control and we lose the reason
C'mon c'mon c'mon lets see the light

Well let the faith shine down on me and let the spirit carry me

To a place where the stars don't know your name
To a town where the children fly
To a city where love comes naturally
In a country where devils die
I want to be there one more time

When my brain is on the floor i need you to help me
C'mon c'mon c'mon don't watch me die
And a friend is someone that you allow to help you
Carry me back carry me back hear me cry

Well let the faith shine down on me and let the spirit carry me

And i dreamt of a love that knows no gain
And our guilt didn't paralyse
Men and women and children can walk free
In the world where our devils die
I want to be there one more time

I want to be there one more time, i want to be there one more time

To a place where the stars don't know you're name
To a town where the children fly
To a city where love comes naturally
In a country where devils die
I want to be there one more time

Well let the faith shine down on me and let the spirit carry me

Flying thru the airwaves
Living thru the printed word
Flasher in the living room
Guru of the seen and heard
Who decides what we get to hear?
Fuzzy 'round the edges
Or making it clear?
Blinding us with those facts
Blinding us with those facts

Chorus
Have you heard the news?
Wo wo wo wooo
Have you heard the news?

Written on the black and white page
We can't believe what we read
Doubting of reality
Has become the new rage
Who says that truth is stranger than fiction?
Money [it talks] and it will cause less friction
A few white lies for a nice little sensation

Chorus

Little box in the corner
A picture worth a thousand words
But who chooses which pictures we see?
Who decides on the commentary?
Keeping people in a state of confusion
There's a thin line between facts and illusion
Diverting our attention from big brother in the city

Chorus
When will we get, when will we get to the real nitty gritty,
Nitty gritty, nitty gritty
When will we get to it, when will we get to it now, when will we get to
It
When will we get to it?
Living thru the printed word
[flasher] in the living room
Guru of the seen and heard
Who decides what we get to hear?
Fuzzy 'round the edges
Or making it clear?
Blinding us with those facts oh
Blinding us with those facts

Chorus
Have you heard, have you heard?
Chorus
