I didn't do it-it wasn't me I can't recall-how could it be? I was on the train to Montreal We should have stopped it-we had the time They were so far out of line Now there's tears of rage for the carnage that we saw CHORUS One man wears a silk suit, one man has no shirt Drink the bottled water 'cause there's poison in the dirt I'm walkin' back to Houston with a ransom for the king Just pieces of someone else's dream Between the cross and the sword and where the gold is stored The border's closed and still they fly away Old men hang on the walls, on the bench the gavel falls And the judge just talks about the good old days CHORUS One man wears a silk suit, one man has no shirt Drink the bottled water 'cause there's poison in the dirt I'm down at the shipyard with a ransom for the king While little kids are grabbin' rocks to sling Just pieces of someone else's dream Crepe myrtle falls to the ground, and for us the only sound Is a mockingbird whose song goes on and on But half a world away it's fear that starts their day SongtexteFour a.m. and there's lightening all around CHORUS Green and white on one box, one red white and blue Papers blow on down the road but no one knows the truth I'm walking back from Wall Street with a ransom for the king While fighter jets are up and on the wing Just pieces of someone else's dream Aus Songtexte Mania
