Someone got lost somewhere
Many people are locked outside
Many people lost out there
Many people, they can't get in
Many people, they pay no mind
Many people, they leave this place
And many people afraid of time
Well now, this man, he could be king
This woman, she's royalty
This woman, she's brave and strong
She's got no name, but she is family
Gasoline and dirty sheets
Politics and a painted face
She says that freedom cost too much
She says the mind is not a place
This situation drags me down
They form a country in my house
On the stage and in the street
I will be a human being
I will come down off the stage
The marketplace and the shopping mall
Into the house, the rooms of war
Look at me now and recall (hey!)
Vacuum-packed don't rock my world
And the money back guarantee don't make my day
And no feeling of security
They say the answer's one click away
Gasoline and dirty sheets
Politics and a painted face
She says that freedom cost too much
She says the mind is not place
Gasoline and dirty sheets
Politics and a painted face
She says that freedom cost too much
She says the mind is not place
Someone in a dangerous place Someone got lost somewhere Many people are locked outside Many people lost out there Many people, they can't get in Many people, they pay no mind Many people, they leave this place And many people afraid of time Well now, this man, he could be king This woman, she's royalty This woman, she's brave and strong She's got no name, but she is family Gasoline and dirty sheets Politics and a painted face She says that freedom cost too much She says the mind is not a place This situation drags me down They form a country in my house On the stage and in the street I will be a human being I will come down off the stage The marketplace and the shopping mall Into the house, the rooms of war Look at me now and recall (hey!) Vacuum-packed don't rock my world And the money back guarantee don't make my day And no feeling of security They say the answer's one click away Gasoline and dirty sheets Politics and a painted face She says that freedom cost too much She says the mind is not place Gasoline and dirty sheets Politics and a painted face She says that freedom cost too much She says the mind is not place Explain Request ×
