Lyrics for Child of Vision
Well who do you think you're foolin'? You say you're havin fun But you're busy going nowhere Just lyin' in the sun You tried to be a hero Commit the perfect crime But the dollar got you dancing And you're running out of time And you're messin' up the water And you're rollin' in the wine And you're poisoning your body And you're poisoning your mind And you gave me Coca-Cola 'Cause you said it tasted good And you watch the television 'Cause it tells you that you should Ooh how can you live in this way? (Why do you think it's so strange?) You must have something to say? (Tell me why should I change?) There must be more than this life (There must be more than this life) It's time we did something right (It's time we did something right) I said: (Child of vision) (Won't you listen?) (Find yourself a new ambition) I've heard it all before You're saying nothing new I thought I saw a rainbow But I guess it wasn't true And you cannot make me listen And I cannot make you hear So you find your way to heaven I'll meet you when you're there How can you live in this way? (Why do you think it's so strange?) You must have something to say? (Tell me why should I change?) We have no reason to fight (We have no reason to fight) 'Cause we both know that we're right ('Cause we both know that we're right) I said: (Child of vision) (Won't you listen?) (Find yourself a new ambition)
