John Waite Euroshima
Storm warning on the radio, flag and banners Armageddon on the late night show, and like my father before We've got love on the barricades Sweet optimists, battle hymns and hitparades Armageddon cascades, what's my name? Jack of Spades Outside my window is darkness and rain And I'm only dreamin', 'til the sun shines again Got nothing but a uniform, jungle issue, and rules that I will warm [All my needs like a storm]/[On my knees, head cast down] Serial number stands across my name My fate is decided by kangaroo cops, it's insane Tin soldiers marching in flames, what's my name? Jack of Spades Outside my window is darkness and rain And I'm only dreamin', until the sun shines again But there's no phoenix rising, and the future's stillborn And the shadows are dancing, my coat of colours is torn, in Euro (Solo) Supernova on the Baltic Sea, push-button logic, [the human eyes in me] And it gets a lot like TV We've got children starving in the streets Genocide for passion, and no man withstands this heat Kids in [Parm] don't compete, the boss gets the [iron in the cold] Outside my window, clouds fill my sky And I'm only dreamin', but there's no time to turn the tide There's no phoenix rising, and the future's stillborn Dark shadows are dancing, my coat of colours is torn, in Euroshima Oh no, Euro, Euroshima, oh no, Euro, ow! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
