1. WAR GAMES

There was laughing and singing,
Freedom and peace in my home,
Sadness and tears
But life went on,
We lived and were filled up with life
But one day he approached
Whose terrible shadow
Was seen by nobody.

He lightened our rooms
And all the people
Drifted to his place…
Oh what a race!

There was laughing and singing
But his feast was their grave.
Then the demon of war filled up
His grave with blood.

We died, we died, we died… oh no.

One day there came a mother
Into the sunny garden of their mind,
And the screamed thinking of her son
But no one listened, oh no, no
And the screamed thinking of her son
But no one listened,
They all were deaf and dumb,
They all were deaf and dumb.

One day there came a mother
Into the sunny garden of their mind,
And the screamed thinking of her son
But no one listened, oh no, no
And the screamed thinking of her son
But no one listened,
They all were deaf and dumb,
They all were deaf and dumb.

Oh how cruel, yeah, when the war goes on,
What a big trouble everywhere,
Oh Lord, oh lord, oh lord walk on,
Oh Lord walk on!


2. IN THE HEART OF THE CITIES (BROKEN PEOPLE)

As long as people go
Straight and round the corner
People do not know
That they don’t understand their (situation).
But when things stop of derangement
So crying for to stand
Stoned hearts, stoned men,
Stoned women, stone to stone,
It is crying just up to the bones,
Stoned cities, too, stoned continent,
Aahh, aahh.

When you went on Sunday
Down the many streets you know,
Noisy streets of your big city,
Where many people go,
All the people running up,
Also running down
On the stairway on the ground
Into a painful sound.

Faceless faces all around,
Hasten, speed, rush and hurry,
Hurry up and down,
Hurry up and down,
Up and down and down, down.

When you went on Saturday
Down the many streets you know,
Noisy streets of your big city,
Where many people go,
All the people running up,
And also running down
On the stairway on the ground
Into a painful sound.

Faceless faces all around,
Hasten, speed, rush and hurry,
Hurry up and down,
Hurry up and down,
Up and down and down, down.

As long as people go
Straight and round the corner
People do not know
That they don’t understand their situation,
But when they stop or can’t go on
They feel their stoned company,
Stoned women, stoned men,
Stoned hearts and stoned sense,
Stoned cities, stoned countries,
Stoned continents, stoned world.

Rolling in your common ways,
You never can’t break out,
You are lazy, worn and tired,
All ideas are down.

You never break out, break out, break out, yeah,
You never break out, break out, break out, yeah,
You never break out, break out, break out, yeah,
You never break out, break out!
You never break out, break out, break out, yeah,
You never break out, break out, break out,
You never break out, break out, break out, yeah,
You never break out, o…u…t…!


3. I AM AMERICA TOO

I am the darker brother
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes
But I laugh and eat well
I am America, oh yes I am,
I am America…

Tomorrow nobody will dare
Say to me eat in the kitchen,
Then beside they will see,
How beautiful I am,
And be ashamed.

I am America, oh yes I am,
I am America.


4. STRANGE DAYS HIDING

When I come into my father’s house
First I was a smiling child,
But later in the years my thoughts are growing wild.
I saw a dusty black piano.

As I went into a dancing room,
But I am glad inside
When tunes get warm and cool,
Yeah I am glad inside when tunes get warm and cool,
Yeah, so much glad when it gets warm and cool.

Oh, see me smiling.
I am your son,
Oh, see me smiling.
I am your son.

When I came into my father’s house
At last I was a nervous man
But in days of family meeting
I’m speaking as I can.

Oh, see me smiling.
I am your son,
Oh, see me smiling.
I am your son.

When I came into my father’s house
I had some memories of imagination,
Everywhere I stand and lie
Goes my feeling to temptation
To sing

Oh, see me smiling.
I am your son,
Oh, see me smiling.
I am your son.
