AT THE BACKGATE THERE IS A MAN
WHO STANDS ON THE FRONT
A SMILE ON HIS FACE
AT THE BACKGATE THERE IS A MAN
WHO STANDS ON THE FRONT
AN AX ON HIS HAND
AT THE BACKGATE THERE IS A MAN
WHO STANDS ON THE FRONT
WITH MUD ON THE KNEES
HE WILL NEVER LET ME IN
WE WANT WE NEED WE ASK EXPLICATIONS
I TALKED ABOUT MY CASE
I TALKED ABOUT YOUR CASE
I TALKED ABOUT OUR CASE
I TALKED IN OUR NAMES
I SPOKE WITH MY HANDS X 4
HE WILL NEVER LET ME IN
I ASKED WITH MY HANDS I ASKED PLEASE
HE SAID YOU DID WORST
I SAID NO MORE THAN THEM
HE SAID YOUD DIDN’T DO ANYTHING
HE SAID THAT’S WORST

NOT EVEN A WORD GOES OUT
NOT EVEN A SMILE GOES OUT
NOT EVEN BREAD CRUMBS
NOT EVEN NOTHING WILL GO OUT

I LL DIE ALONE IN THIS HOUSE, I LL DIE ALONE
NOT EVEN A BRICK WILL BREAK
WE HAVE OUR SEATS
WE HAVE OUR SEA
WE HAVE OUR SKY
SHARE ? WELCOME ? WHY ?

OUR YOUNGNESS
OUR WALLS OF STONES
OUR INNOCENCE
OUR FIELD OF BONES
WHERE’S THE LAUGHS THAT WE WERE IN?
WHERE’S THE HOUSE WHERE WE LIVED?
WHERE IS OUR TOWN?
WHERE IS OUR TOWN?
WHERE’S OUR YOUNGNESS?
WHERE’S OUR HILL?
WHERE’S OUR DREAMS?
WHERE’S OUR HOPES?
STIR THE RIVER
DRY THE RIVER
DRAIN THE RIVER
DRAG THE RIVER

UPSIDE WORLD

ARE WE DOING UP ? HAVE WE MISSED THE DEAL ?
ARE WE SMASHING UP ? ARE WE DIGGING GRAVES ?
ARE WE BUILDING TOWERS ? ARE WE BUILDING WALLS ?
HAVE WE LEARNT NOTHING ? ARE WE FALLING IN ?
AND WE ARE SMILING HIGHER THAN ALL
AND WE ARE STANDING ON A UPSIDE WORLD
SO WE ARE DOING UP SO WE MISSED THE DEAL
SO WE ARE SMASHING UP SO WE ARE DIGGING OUR GRAVES
SO WE ARE BUILDING TOWERS WITH OUR NAMES ON THE WALLS
SO WE LEARNT NOTHING AND WE ARE FALLING
WE WERE NOT BORN ONLY TO FAIL
IT’S TOO SIMPLE, IT’S TOO SIMPLE
SO EASY TO DESTROY, SO HARD TO BUILD
IT’S TOO SIMPLE, IT’S TOO SIMPLE
I AM CRAWLING ONLY TO TRAIL
IT’S SO SIMPLE, IT’S SO SIMPLE
ALL BEHIND, NOTHING IN FRONT
THIS SAD WORLD IS MY WORLD
I TRADE MY WEAPONS FOR THOUSAND TOOLS
AND I’M SURE THAT ONE DAY
WE WILL RUN

I AM A DEAD MAN LOCKED UP IN THIS ROOM.
ON YOUR KNEES. WHO'S WAITING
I AM A CHILD LOCKED UP IN THIS ROOM.
ON YOUR KNEES WHO'S PLAYING
KILL THE MONSTER LOCKED UP IN THIS ROOM.
CUT OFF THE FEET BUT NOT HIS HANDS.
KILL THE FREAK HANGING IN THIS ROOM
CUT OFF HIS TEETH AND FORCE HIM TO BITE DUST.
AND AT THE WINDOW THERE IS A SHADOW
AND THROUGH THE WINDOW
ALL THE TREES ARE DANCING
LIKE A CLOWN WHO SMACHED THE TRACK
A POOR MAN A HUGE MAN AN OLD MAN
A RICH MAN A MONSTER WITH BIG HANDS
A MONSTER WITH BIG HANDS

THERE IS A GHOST IN THE MOUNTAIN WHERE I BOUNCED, WHERE I BOUNCED
THERE IS A FACE I RECOGNISE WHERE I BOUNCED, WHERE I BOUNCED
AND I SAY : FATHER ! IT’S ME I’M BACK ! IT’S ME I’M BACK !
AND HE SAID : GO STRAIGH TO HELL SON, GET OUT FROM HERE,
THIS IS MY HOUSE, THIS IS MY HOUSE
THERE IS A FACE I RECOGNISE WHERE I BOUNCED, WHERE I BOUNCED
THERE IS A GHOST ON THE TRAIN WHERE I BOUNCED, WHERE I BOUNCED
AND I SAID : FATHER ! IT’S ME I’M BACK !
FATHER I BRING YOU SINS IT’S FOR YOU
FATHER SO LET ME SIT CLOSE TO YOU

YES IT HURTS EVERYWHERE
FROM NORTH TO SOUTH ON EACH POLE
ARE WE INSIDE? ARE WE OUTSIDE?
IS THERE ANYONE WHO KNOWS WHERE IT COMES FROM?
AVOID BLOWS IS MY SPORT SIT DOWN AND WAIT
YES IT HURTS EVERY DAY
FROM THE EAST TO THE WEST TO EACH SIDE
ARE WE THE HAMMER? ARE WE THE HAMMER?
I PREFER NOT TO KNOW
THE WORLD IS FALLING AND I DO NOT CARE
THE SKY IS FALLING AND I DO NOT CARE
BECAUSE I’M ALREADY DEAD

HOW TO SAY HERE’S THE LIMIT
HOW CAN I SAY DO NOT CROSS IT
HOW TO SAY WE WILL REGRET
A RAIN OF TEARS WON’T STOP IT
WE KEEP ONE LINE
HOW TO SAY DO NOT DO IT
HOW CAN I SAY DO NOT KEEP IT
HOW TO SAY WE WILL REGRET
A RAIN OF TEARS WON’T STOP IT
WE KEEP ONE LINE
AND WE KEEP BAD LINE
WHEN WE ARE THIRSTY, WHY NOT DRINK WATER?
WHY THIS NEED OT TEARS? WHY THIS NEED OF SALT?
IS IT BECAUSE IT’S HOT? ARE WE LIVING IN A DESERT?
ARE WE BURNT BY THE SUN? OR BURNT BY THE TRUTH?
SORRY FOR ALL THE MESS
THAT I LEFT BEHIND US

THIS KID IS SMILING OTHER IS LAUGHING
WHILE MY FEET ARE DANCING OTHERS ARE SHAKING
BECAUSE THE FEAR THAT I PASS THOUGH
THE ROTTEN WOOD
I AM A CLOWN
AND THEY WAIT FOR THE MOMENT
OR MY BODY WILL FAIL
BUT DON’T FORGET THE DAY I LL FALL
I LL TAKE WITH ME IN A VIOLENT CRASH
THIS WHOLE BORING WORLD
I AM A CLOWN
IN EVERY WAR
THERE S A REST
IN EVERY WEST
THERE S A WAR
I AM HERE
