Satellite Blues

Hey you, you're walking down a new york street

Feel the tension in the midday heat

You're walking on blood

Tv, it's all there on a japanese screen

East, west, there's no in between

Now, we just love "the reds"



Everything is now because the past is dead

You've got to look forward if you want to get ahead

What kind of person sells a young person drugs?

You bring them up good but don't call them thugs

Third world stories, well they make the news

It's a five minute wonder, call it...



Satellite blues

Any way the wind blows



Dive, dive! underground is just the place to be

So cool, it keeps the city clean

Now walk on by



I said "walk, walk, don't run!"

Don't you know you've got to follow the signs?

This life's so cruel, so cruel to be kind

It's a one-way street



You've got to live on the edge just to make a big deal

This life's big fun, man, it's like a roulette wheel

What kind of world would let these children die?

There's so much money we could all retire

We could all live happily if we choose

But it's a five minute wonder, call it...



Satellite blues

Any way the wind blows
