Lyrics

Flicker

Every time I watch TV

On the news is something major

I'm a prisoner, set me free

Turn this atoll into vapor

Genocide put on the side

It's always new

Politicians want to share their

Point of view

United nations are demanding

Foreign troops have made a landing

City dealers at an auction

Shares are falling fast

Suicide is not an option

Waiting for the crash

CHORUS

I walk this wild road

Can you tell me will I reach the end?

This endless night goes on

But I still can't find my way home

Misguided youth are mixing juice

With alcohol

Desert states are praying for the

Rains to fall peace

In Ireland is an issue

Goodbye, bombs, we're gonna miss you

The southern ice has almost gone

The silly fools just carry on

CHORUS

I walk this wild road

Can you tell me will I reach the end?

This endless night goes on

But I still carry on

This world's out of reach

But I don't want it

The people are creeps

That live here on it

It's always the same

It's not gonna change

When we go to school

With Sadam Hussein

I'd cry all night if I could change it

Ask Jesus Christ could he arrange?

It Is there anyone out there who cares

If a child can run free?

Can a girl walk the street?

Will united get beat?
