Sung by Peter Fox You might say I'm lazy Might say I'm extreme Music makes me crazy Music is a dream Something in me was set aflame The lights, the crowd shouting a name So who can blame us if we want To taste the fame Our own true aim You'll know what I know You’ll see what I’ve seen They lied to me on the BBC You'll know what I know You’ll see what I’ve seen What I did see is that it went into freefall (WTC-7) How could have they known It went into freefall and things don’t happen like that You don't have to be blind And nothing's what it seems Shake off all the ties that bind Skim off all the cream Something in me I don't know why But I can't live unless I try To reach the high just one time Before I die I'm going to fly You'll know what I know You’ll see what I’ve seen They lied to me on the BBC You'll know what I know You’ll see what I’ve seen What I did see is that it went into freefall (WTC-7) How could have they known It went into freefall and things don’t happen like that

ROTTEN FROM WITHIN Sung by Humpy Dampster I am a shade Caught in between I feel hunger I feel mean I love the fear Hate all I see Like you I'm Wrapped in misery And do you know my name And do you know my game I can tell you where you've been And I am rotten from within I am control That you don't see I like that you Don't believe in me You are my slave And so I feed You're trapped by Everything you need And do you know my name And do you know my game I can tell you where you've been And I am rotten from within

Ordinary Man 03:19
Sung by Peter Fox He’s an ordinary man With an ordinary life An ordinary job And an ordinary wife He has a pair of children Who just don’t seem to care The wife will let him once a week But she’s not really there And I wonder And I ponder Can you tell me where this ordinary man is going to? He’s an ordinary man Who want’s to get ahead He never stops to think Some day he will be dead He doesn’t understand Why things don’t work out like he planned Every day is the same now It’s more than he can stand And I wonder And I ponder Can you tell me where this ordinary man is going to? He’s an ordinary man Drives an ordinary car Week nights by the TV Weekends at the bar It’s all the same old story And I’ve seen it all before I won’t bother to open When he’s knocking on my door And I wonder And I ponder Can you tell me where this ordinary man is going to?

Sung by Peter Fox I wish that I could die Wish that I could cry When I see what they've done At the point of a gun It makes me wonder why They all believe the lie That we are not the same It's a sad and tragic game Life is beautiful If we could let it be Life is everywhere If we could only see What do I do How can I Just stand by And look her in the eye If we could love We could rise above She is like a rose, a dove She touched me she touched love With great power to change My heart feels so strange Something has come over me Things that are should never be The light that I see Shows the way and speaks to me

Sung by Peter Fox I wish that I could die Wish that I could cry When I see what's been done To you Life is fragile Don't hesitate Life is fleeting It won't wait What do I do How can I Just stand by How can I let Her dream die (A fuzzy radio voice reads a news release of the death of Princess Diana in the tragic car crash) I'll make the whole world see The things that should not be The things that are not right Must be brought to light And bring down the dogs Who drink from pools of blood Of children who have died They lay death in the ground Where later it's found And bodies rip apart With an awful sound They profit while they scheme Divide the human beings How can I believe It's hard very hard For me to believe That people could do that Who would do that ? Who would do that ?

RAPATATIVE #2 D- So the odds he'll defy He's got that look in his eye Now he'll carry the torch With fire to scorch The villains who make The mines that create The death and despair Of course they don't care S- Paul's got all the green More than he's ever seen At any one time It feels so sublime But Peter being given As dreamers are driven To mad things delight He's picked a hard fight J- So he calls up his brother Hey let's get these mother Fucker's that trade On death that they made Planned long ago These things that I know Now here's the deal It's time that we heal The land where we live I want to give Ass kicks to these guys Maybe poke out there eyes Will you help me out Now don't make me shout We'll use you're expertise To burn the coorporate sleaze D- David says it sounds rash But hey you got the cash I'll take on your case Your heart's in the right place So all the suits soon where filed Just like girls gone wild S- And the spotlight fell From heaven to hell Which made the ground swell You never can tell Which one's gonna hit Which one's full of shit Which way the wind blows Who knows where it goes
