What is your destiny the police woman said[00:00:00]
20 amnesia[00:00:03]
The word that she wanted was destination I'm afraid[00:00:06]
20 amnesia[00:00:09]
This is your future boy this is your fate[00:00:12]
20 amnesia[00:00:15]
And you're obsolete and they can't afford to educate you[00:00:16]
20 amnesia[00:00:22]
In his bedtime boot boy jersey[00:00:24]
Ringing up some fantasy tart[00:00:27]
Give me strength or give me mercy[00:00:30]
Life intimidates art[00:00:32]
Give me strength or give me mercy[00:00:35]
Don't let me lose heart[00:00:38]
From rage to anaesthesia[00:00:41]
Twenty percent amnesia[00:00:44]
Were you passed out on the sofa[00:00:53]
20 amnesia[00:00:57]
While justice was bartered by a drunken oaf[00:00:59]
20 amnesia[00:01:03]
This is all your glorious country thinks of your life[00:01:05]
20 amnesia[00:01:09]
Stripped jack naked with a stanley knife[00:01:11]
20 amnesia[00:01:15]
So the german queen went home again[00:01:17]
But she couldn't find forgiveness[00:01:20]
They made a fist of her hand of friendship[00:01:23]
But it's only business[00:01:30]
The wine you drink has never seen a grape[00:01:37]
And now your sci fi suit has lost its shape[00:01:47]
But its a dangerous game that comedy plays[00:01:52]
Sometimes it tells you the truth sometimes it delays it[00:01:58]
Think back think back if you still can[00:02:11]
When the trumpet sounded and the world began[00:02:13]
Somebody said we must have won[00:02:17]
So they started burying the boogeyman[00:02:19]
Mister gorbachov came cap in hand[00:02:23]
20 amnesia[00:02:26]
From a bankrupt land to a bankrupt land[00:02:28]
20 amnesia[00:02:32]
Mister gorbachov and some other fella[00:02:34]
20 amnesia[00:02:38]
Were taken to a show called cinderella[00:02:39]
20 amnesia[00:02:43]
It wasn't an accident it wasn't a mystery[00:02:43]
20 amnesia[00:02:49]
It was calculated and the rest is history[00:02:49]
20 amnesia[00:02:56]
You don't have to listen to me[00:02:58]
That's the triumph of free will[00:03:01]
When there are promises to break[00:03:03]
And dreams to kill[00:03:12]
