Spoken words:
TV is enough,
is providing artificial friends and relatives to lonely people,
What it is, is, recurrent families, same friends and relatives come
back
week after week after week after week,
And they are wittier and they are better looking and much more interesting
and they are richer
than your real friends and relatives
Where
is the love from that where’s it gone?
Where is the love for humanity?
Where’s it gone?
The love for the children, respect for the elders, where’s it gone?
Where’s
it gone?
I
wanna know, I wanna know ,
I wanna know,
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
when will they get it right?
Rest in the city
praise for the nightfall
Rain washed my memory
Time climb my great wall
Please don’t desert me
Not in the forest
Grace where I trespass
Calling my goddess
Where
is the love from that where’s it gone?
Where is the love for humanity?
Where’s it gone?
I
wanna know, I wanna know, I
wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
Sleep my grandfather
Dream of great quiet
Merely a flash between
Words and blue silence
Gentle this hour
Great is the highway
Brave are these cowards
Racing racing racing racing away
Racing away
